" 'That's strange!' whispered Florence. 'Reminds me of something an
aged sailor told me once, something that happened on the Asiatic
side of the Pacific. Too long to tell now. Tell you sometime though.
Doesn't seem as if there could be any connection. Surely couldn't be.
But you can never tell. Better turn over and go to sleep.' "
(The Cruise of the O-Moo, by Roy J. Snell, 1922 - page 35)

"Anthropologists who visited a certain small island somewhere between Cranium Island and the
Spontoons
were confused by how those strange intelligent furred-reptiles evolved. Generations of work
went into to discovering the how. Those who visited the Spontoons never found any records
 or vocal legends; those who visited Cranium Island... Well, it is Cranium Island.
As there were no written records, and the peoples of that little island were closed-lipped
about their history, no one learned that the source of this strange species was not evolution, but love."

Simon Barber says:
Another pic that's probably the last recorded one of these 2 smugglers.
They should have brought Betty with them rather than double-crossing her
to the Spontoon Islands Constabulary for the reward money ...
