Holt, Captain Ebenezer

(f.) The Salem merchant seaman who in '68 traded a copy of the Regnun Congo of Pigafetta with the old man who lived in a decrepid house in the hills west of Arkham.  Holt was reported to have died in the War (though most of the old man's acquaintances seem to have disappeared more mysteriously).
