GUEST,Phil d'Conch I give up. What's a HOGEYE? (197* d) RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE? 20 May 25


Again, see my previous upthread. None of us have anything but Whall on the subject and it's just not that long a read.

"THIS shanty dates from 1849-50..." and every last darn factoid in the intro that follows.

Whall could not have observed or remembered details down to a specific two-year span all by his lonesome. Most of what can be sorted is just not true.

Fiction or not, Whall's sources are MIA.
