This is the second attempt at designing a cartoony, but realistic seaplane for a Tailspin-sort of Pacific Islands adventure story. I had some of the characters thought out, and imagined an Indiana Jones & the Eye of the Idol kind of plot. But after this much, my attention wandered elsewhere.

The captain of the ship was a tough mouse girl in a leather flight jacket and eye-patch. Her crew were motley, as is mandatory in these affairs. One had been transformed outright into a four-legged sort of animal. The captain is distantly related to Circe, but has no control of the power, you see. You don't see? Neither do I after all this time. Maybe that's one reason I dropped the notion.
