Shipwrecked-but who cares?

When the good ship Tin Hat Club foundered without loss of life in the Oddfellows Hall the many survivors celebrated by holding a very popular and successful cabaret. Judging by the variety of garments, many of the castaways were caught unawares when the lugger went down. They were very lucky to find their island well-provisioned, however, and were able to survive the evening at least.
