Note.-The Author of "Typee" was more than two years in the South Seas, after escaping
from the valley, as recounted in the last chapter. Some time after returning home the
foregoing narrative was published, though it was little thought at the time that this would
be the means of revealing the existence of Toby, who had long been given up for lost. But
so it proved. The story of his escape supplies a natural sequel to the adventure, and as
such it is now added to the volume. It was related to the Author by Toby himself.
