## Resource

Francois Raynal and his buddy, Captain Musgrave, are looking for a rumored island full of silver when they end up stranded in the Southern Ocean, surrounded by thousands of belching sea lions. After surviving a year in the wilderness, they accept that the world won’t save them—so they develop an ingenious (and terrifying) plan to save themselves. Sources for this episode include the books Island of the Lost, by Joan Druett; The Wreck of the Grafton from the Private Journals of Thomas Musgrave, by Thomas Musgrave; and Wrecked on a Reef or 20 Months on the Auckland Islands, by Francois Raynal.
