    parts
In summary, the group of people stranded on the island must find a way to survive by finding fresh water, constructing shelter, and hunting for food. They must also watch for passing ships or planes in order to be rescued.

Ah, it's not Evo's fault she's been wandering round in a daze - it's the fumes coming from that still...

Yes, well then... let's get on with the essential preliminary step of subduing your father. As a proper Canuk, I did of course have 6 rolls of duct tape in my pockets when we cracked up. So half a metre for each of his arms, a quarter metre for his ankles, a 10cm strip across his mouth, and what do we do about... (never mind, I have a Band-Aid). On the other hand, if he isn't overly protective we can just leave him be. :tongue2: (Did I mention how much I love that half a bikini you're wearing?)

You poor fool, subduing me would be the easy part, taking on the daughter
of Wolram will be like fighting Zena, Bodica, and Cat Woman all rolled into one,
when she has finished with you :devil: Wolram and Kia will rule the isle, with
justness, and good treatment to all, "as long as you toe the line" :devil:

No, it was a methane "clathrate" eruption, or something similar.
Right, then. That makes a lot more sense. I've heard about them, but didn't know the name. Supposedly a good candidate for Bermuda Triangle-type disappearances, but I wonder if the lifeboat would have floated in something like that or if maybe there's another explanation. The idea of a calcite reaction worried me because it would indicate one spookily huge influx of CO2 from somewhere.

Hey, we're armed up and ready to go, but until Hypatia tells us what happened we don't have a direction. Astro might be able to track somebody through this kind of growth, but I sure can't. Anyhow, there's a good chance that if there was another person a fault, he'll end up in one of the traps. They're marked clearly enough for us, but someone who doesn't know about them wouldn't even notice.

Well, she's disappeared again. I wonder if it has anything to do with Hypatia's stone?

I have the nose and ears of a dog - two of the reasons I used to be known as "Dogface". The other reason is that I would weeks between shaves, until I stopped shaving altogether.

Your thinking the stone has some sort of supernatural power?

So it was spirits that kept you away, and it seems they were not supernatural I think you had better have some of Moon Bs root tea
it good for every thing ,"cleans up rusty metal a treat", then we can find
you something to do.

The lifeboat was thrown clear - it took us some time in the water before some clever chap spotted it a couple hundred yards off.
Then unfortunately it hit that reef...

Handsome dude. :wink:

Something about men with beards, perhaps. :biggrin:

I have been greeted/treated as a rabbi, Arab, Greek, and when I was in E. Europe, several monks suggested I join their monestaries.

Oh, my head! Brewnog, you're going to have to move that still further from camp if you keep mixing stuff that gives off such fumes! Thankfully the wind changed directions and I came to. How long have I been out?

You missed quite a bit Moon B, Evo, Hypatia has lump on here head, we are not
