Answer:
The author presents the Reverend as an eyewitness to multiple examples of Scoresby's good fortune, which adds reliability to his account.
Explanation:
According to the book "Luck" by Mark Twain, the story is told of an English war hero Lord Scoresby who is a total idiot but managed to achieve legendary status by sheer luck.
