Not a box of cigars
Not a box of cigars at all; rather the box of truncheons with which to bash the Fenians mentioned on May 27th. Not made any progress towards finding out why the ancient borough of Winchelsea felt the need to disturb its bucolic peace with parades of vigilantes.
I think the things top left are cannon balls, in which case I am fairly sure they had nothing to do with the Fenians, dating from a rather earlier era. Most of them stone rather than metal.
