King of the Cannibal Islands story told by Rob Mo
In a long letter a narrator recounts the sea voyage near Cape Horn, shipwreck, and cannibal ordeal. He survives adrift, is rescued on Maui, is adopted by a Hawaiian chief, becomes heir to the Sandwich Islands throne, and reflects on education, travel, and connections to West Alexandria Ohio. He hints at a future printer to the Crown for a friend.
