In this 1901 novel, the main character learns to communicate with
the natives by teaching two of them how to speak English. He
describes one of them as about 5 ft. high; having small slender
legs about 18 in. long, and slight feet of the common lunar
pattern. On these balanced a little body, throbbing with the
pulsations of his heart. He had long, soft, many-jointed arms
ending in a tentacled grip, and his neck was many-jointed in the
usual way, but exceptionally short and thick. His head, is of the
common ***** type, but strangely modified. The mouth has the usual
expressionless gape, but it is unusually small and pointing
downward, and the mask is reduced to the size of a large flat
nose-flap. On either side are the little eyes. The rest of the head
is distended into a huge globe and the chitinous leathery cuticle
of the ******** herds thins out to a mere membrane, through which
the pulsating brain movements are distinctly visible. He is a
creature, indeed, with a tremendously hypertrophied brain, and with
the rest of his organism both relatively and absolutely dwarfed.
One of the people involved in the actual event was born in a
northeastern state in a township with a population of XX,XXX
according to the census for the year in which he was born. Divide
the XX,XXX by 6,919 and round to 3 decimal places to give you
Y.YYY. The cache's latitude is 27 Y.YYY.
On August 23, 2008, the largest one of these, to date, was
discovered. The cache's longitude is 82 8th.34th.
