Storyline:
A SAVAGE PROBLEM
Let me introduce myself: Sir Dudley Dashly is the name, and big-game hunting is my game. It was, anyway, until yesterday afternoon at 4:00 (teatime, you know) when my wife, Lady Penelope Dashly (Lady P. for short) was kidnapped from camp. It simply ruined my whole tea service!
Seems that a couple of savages saw Lady P. and decided to cook her up for their own tea!
Soon after Penelope was captured, the jungle drums started beating. My porters translated the message - they tell me it's some sort of jungle memo:
TO: THE CANNIBAL COMMUNITY
FROM: THE CANNIBAL RESTAURANT SOCIETY
