<meta property="se:production-notes">At the time of production, no US transcription existed, so a Project Gutenberg Australia transcription was used and compared against a US PD scan. The PG Australia transcription put all of the text for each blockquote (letters, etc.) into a single paragraph, so the original paragraph breaks had to be added to each.

<p>(The weird, haunting cry of that unearthly bird again. So cold, so harsh! Here it was once more to startle him out of his soul flight into a realization of the real or unreal immediate problem with all of its torturesome angles that lay before him.)</p>
