What does 'entry' mean in this context?

"In 1849, Henry Brown was determined to escape his miserable life on a Virginia plantation. But how? Safety was hundreds of miles away, and he wasn't a young man anymore. Brown decided to get creative. And by that we mean, for the third straight entry, the escapee used a scheme that would seem too ridiculous for a cartoon."

Thanks in advance.

This is why we want everybody to supply as much context as possible rather than just dash off a quotation. That paragraph is from the website "Cracked", in which everything is written poorly in a pseudo-teenage jive hipster style. The paragraph appears in story #3, which is what the writer might have meant by "third entry", as if it matters.

The article, The 5 Most Badass Ways People Escaped from Slavery, has five entries, each of which tells an escape-from-slavery story. This is the third entry in the sequence that uses a seemingly ridiculous ploy.
