Details on moray eels and sea snakes were cribbed gratefully from Captain Michael Cargal's
The Captain's Guide to Liferaft Survival
. Any misrepresentations of those species are my own, and should not be pinned on Captain Cargal. The cockatiel's cry has been borrowed from an oration delivered by the heroic Mush Tate in chapter three of Edward Dahlberg's
Because I Was Flesh
. I am grateful to Elaine Katzenberger, Stacey Lewis, and everyone at City Lights.
