[Callomon,Paul]

There’s no better example of a disastrous expedition than the hilarious – and largely true – “White waters and black”:

Hi All, you might remember me from when I asked the list for examples of species with long shelf lives for my book The Lost Species. I'm still at it. Collecting stories. I'm always on the lookout for a great story that needs to be told and I feel like someone already knows it. I would love to find a story of a collecting expedition with plenty of source material, or even two competing narratives, or an expedition that went missing, or everyone on it ended up hating each other or something. I don't know what I'm looking for really, but something with lots of aspects to explore and to write about. Let me know if any of you are aware of anything that fits the bill! All best to you all, Chris
