Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””

As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.””
