  STORIES BY GRANT ALLEN. STRANGE STORIES. AND OTHER STORIES BY GRANT ALLEN Chatto and Windus , 214, PICCADILLY, LONDON, W. [392] This poem is unique, as far as I can discover, in the 1795 edition. The reference to steamboats alludes to Fitch, who at that time was experimenting with steam navigation. In 1790 he completed his fourth boat, which during the summer made regular trips from Philadelphia to Burlington, at the rate of eight miles per hour.
