And looking down, they failed to find the island either.

Mervyn the Marvelous Magician, on holiday after a magic trick involving chickens that went badly wrong, had made the island disappear when he discovered a chicken pecking at his favorite magic wand.

Steeling himself, the young man, who was named William William Williams (as mentioned by Bob Hope concerning the parents of one of his characters named "Larry Laurence Laurence" William's parents had no imagination too), decided he would not give up, grabbed a piece of nearby driftwood and slowly drifted with the currents.

JoHunt · 09-10-2015, 04:31 AM

Believing strongly in fate, the young man decided to slowly release a super sauce (comprised mainly of turtle and squid) into the ocean and follow it to wherever it led.

After making himself a boat out of the helpful turtle's shell, he began to make fast progress, as the super sauce led him inexorably toward Australia.

"What's that?" the lookout called out to his fellow UFO observers who were on duty.

"Over there, on the horizon, approaching our shores."

"Thar she blows," said the first mate, "it looks like a big white whale, though the name eludes me for the moment ..."
