Hmmm it occurs to me that nobody chose By either. The boy has managed to bitter his bread on both sides and the edges for years and keep it a secret. He's got to be good for something.
The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one. H. L. Mencken

Actually, if your goal was to get *off* the desert island, you could
hardly do better then Possibly-Prince-or-Pirate Jokol. He certainly
knows how to sail, and probably knows how to build, seaworthy vessels
out of the odd tree trunk, coconut shell, etc.
He also has the gods' own luck, an ambiguous gift but possibly useful
here if he is in fact wanted elsewhere.
intrigued by the question, L.
