Der Boxkampf ist "historisch", wenn auch nicht in Lancashire, sondern in Cornwall, und auch nicht gegen Diener, sondern gegen Obersteiger:
| One day at Chacewater some half dozen of the mining captains came into the engine room and began bullying him This he could not stand and adopted a bold expedient He locked the door and said Now then you shall not leave this place until I have it fairly out with you He selected the biggest and put himself in a fighting attitude The Cornishmen love fair play and while the two engaged in battle the others without interfering looked on The contest was soon over for Murdock was a tall powerful fellow and speedily vanquished his opponent The others seeing the kind of man they had to deal with made overtures of reconciliation and they shook hands all round and parted the best of friends. |
Außerdem hat er sich mal mit dem Vater von Richard Trevithick duelliert. Tilberg 23:47, 18. Jul. 2020 (CEST)
