•Baring-Gould was a prolific writer of novels as well as songs and hymns. A sailor carrying a small baby is seen to enter a wayside inn, where he meets three men, who follow him from the inn and murder and rob him. The baby and dead man are found later by Jonas Kink (the broom-squire). Eventually Mehetabel the foundling marries Jonas, and her interesting history thereafter is given, and many local superstitions of the time (1786) are introduced.
