Harrison Hayford and Merton Sealts produced the "genetic" 1962 edition of this book, whose manuscript was rediscovered by its author's biographer Raymond Weaver. Its final chapter is a ballad which depicts its main character "in the Darbies." That character impresses Red Pepper by shooing away an afterguardsman and befriends a scarred man referred to as a "Dansker". In its climactic event, a character is said to be "struck dead by an (*) angel of God," though he was actually punched in the head by the stuttering title character. That title character says "God bless Captain Vere!" shortly before being hanged for his accidental murder of the master-at-arms John Claggart. For 10 points, name this novella about a sailor impressed aboard the Bellipotent, by Herman Melville.
