These aristocrats deem themselves the sons of crocodiles, in other words, descendants with the most exalted origins to which a human being can lay claim. Accordingly, their scaly ancestors infest the island's rivers and are the subjects of special veneration.
The expedition got back to Tasmania without having a single case of sickness on board or sustaining the slightest damage.
