Hello, friend! If you've found this towel then rough circumstances have caused me to part ways with my indispensable traveling aid. Most likely I dropped this charging to the rescue of my disaster-prone fellow traveler, A.D. My friend, you see, has a pronounced predilection to get himself in all sorts of trouble. The other day, for instance, we were taking a pleasant walk down the beach when he angered a mud puddle, which rose up and attacked him viciously. In my attempt to come to his defense, I was assaulted and engulfed by what looked like an angry, two-legged wave. That experience was most unpleasantly like being drunk.

I may have to reconsider my assessment of this

strange little island when I've compiled my travel guide. Please do me a favor, friend, and return this towel to one of the Explorer's Society agents in Holtburg, Rithwic, Lytelthorpe, Yaraq, Samsur, al-Arqas, Shoushi, Nanto, or Yanshi.

Yours,

Note

• The towels that were added in the June 2001 Chains of Command event were done so in memory of the author Douglas Adams, who wrote the book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and who died May 2001. The author F.P. refers to Ford Prefect, a major character in the book. A.D. in the text refers to Arthur Dent, the main character in the book.
