Table of Contents
The Giant Rat of Sumatra pokes its nose off the coast of California, and things begin to happen
Of piranha fish and a room full of villains
In which One-Arm Ginger tips his hand, and I get an earful
Desperate events aboard The Giant Rat, and a bucket of whale oil
Regarding the fate of The Giant Rat and other important matters
Containing one surprise after another
In which a pile of rubble bursts apart, and what jumps out
And then what happened
Containing various matters, including an unpleasant stowaway
In which appears the lady in velvet, and Captain Gallows loses his boots
In which the tall Mexican talks more than necessary
Containing an excess of villains and a kick in the dirt
In which I keep my eyes peeled, and the judge gives a hopeless shrug
In which Sam'l Spoons returns, and a dead man rises from the deep
A whaling ship blunders in, and I peel off my jacket
Containing a full account of the notorious duel and how it ended
Containing a sprinkle of rain and news of Candalaria
Enter the man with fleas in his beard
In which news arrives and I leave
In which villains spring forth and amazements abound
Being full of derring-do and daring don't
How the bold Giant Rat of Sumatra met her fate, and history was made
Containing all manner of things, including the secret of Don Simplicio
In which Candalaria returns, and surprises lurk about
Being full of emeralds and punishments and a scruffy ship homeward bound
Author's Note: In which the ink-stained writer confesses, and a trilogy is revealed before your eyes.
