  A Matter of Fact

  Three journalists witness the unbelievable. Their biggest problem is not surviving it—it is convincing anyone else that it happened. 
   
  Traveling from Cape Town to England aboard a small tramp steamer, three newspapermen expect an uneventful voyage home. Instead, a violent underwater disturbance sends a colossal wave across the sea and brings something extraordinary to the surface. 
   
  There, beside the ship, the men witness a massive sea creature unlike anything known to science. 
   
  For the journalists, the encounter should be the story of a lifetime. But once the danger has passed, another problem emerges: how do you report a truth so incredible that no reasonable reader will believe it? 
   
  As Keller, Zuyland, and the narrator debate evidence, credibility, sensationalism, and the expectations of the newspaper-reading public, Rudyard Kipling turns a fantastic maritime encounter into a sharp and witty meditation on journalism, storytelling, and the strange relationship between fact and fiction. 
   
  First published in 1892 and later collected in Many Inventions, A Matter of Fact blends sea adventure, speculative fiction, humor, and literary satire into one of Kipling’s most unusual short stories. 
   
  Narrated by Paul Landergan.

  Letters of Peregrine Pickle - A...

  George P. Upton

  Weekly letters written for the Chicago Tribune in the late 1860s under the name of Peregrine Pickle, on the gossip and amusements of a city growing faster than its manners: the social season, sleeping in church, the organ grinder, the circus, the wedding and everything before it, the Boston girl and the muscular Christianity of the Chicago pulpits. Upton was the critic who taught the middle west what to listen for, and here he turns the same ear on his own town. Fifty-nine plates, among them Hudson River views by Albert Bierstadt and Samuel Colman, give this Chicago of the pen its wider American frame.
