In existence since late 1971, the weekly Menomonee Falls Gazette was showing signs of strain by 1977. After hibernating for a couple of months, issue #227 finally shipped. Now released every two weeks, the action on its pages picked up where it left off in March. 
Unmindful of recent events — the wedding’s cancellation and the Lord Mayor’s illness, Kevin arrives. At least Clarissa’s mood brightens at the sight of Kevin. Benjamin DeFoe and his compatriot (Jonathan Clay) are still in dire straits.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Ben and Jonathan have new problems. Sent to the brig by another cruel master, DeFoe realizes something is amiss. Back in Glassen, Kevin is brought up to speed.
Bejamin DeFoe, an erstwhile archer for the king, finally realizes where he’d seen Shark Donnelly previously, and now has another reason to despise him. Using “Frederick Stearns” as an alias and masquerading as a sailor, Stearns is Heather’s captain.
I’m sure the resemblance between these two men (both skippers of boats named Heather) is purely coincidental.
Kreigh’s Comics 
Kreigh’s artwork in this period is probably his best in comics. Really solid draftsmanship and a fearless ability to use different styles keeps each panel fresh and powerful. He could caricature and cartoon with the best of them, but when Madison Avenue-style realism was needed, he could hit that feel with real authority.
