In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

At the Frontiers of Zoology group, I re-posted the Sea-serpent account and compared it to a similar story from South Carolina in 1850, which both Heuvelmans and Oudemans call a hoax. This account tends to stink toward the postscript end where unnamed Naturalist allegedly rushed off messages to a named Doctor Mitchell in NYC (who did not respond and so that information is valueless)
That part in itself is highly suspicious, and probably indicates that BOTH accounts are indeed plain journalistic hoaxes.
