“- Our boat let go the anchor and has drifted away.... we're stuck on this lonely island like Robinson Crusoe... and without anything to eat and no parrot... - That's true.... and I really don't know what to eat, once I have devoured you, poor Cabassol!,” plate 5 from Les Canotiers Parisiens

“- Well, fancy that! I thought that we had just discovered a deserted island or at least a country inhabited by cannibals. - No, Sir.... and the proof is that, if you want, I am going to make you eat an excellent fricassee of game in a white wine sauce. - A fricassee of game ....oh, then it's different..... we are with the Chatophages. (note:cat-eaters),” plate 2 from Les Canotiers Parisiens

A Boat-Manoeuvre. The Captain yelling in his trumpet: “- Gabier! There is a squall building up, get ready!..... Clew up all the sails!...

Now I am so deaf, I can't see clearly anymore!...,” plate 9 from Les Canotiers Parisiens
