Here's section 22. 17.3 Mb and 18:02 in length, read in my creepy old storyteller around a campfire voice. The rest of this week is gonna be wild (in a good way), but I'll get the other two parts up as soon as I can.

Section 22 PL Notes
@3:44 I hear 'waved' where the text reads 'weaved' in phrase
The other weaved a mat of rushes in a curious device of green and white ;

@7:55 I hear 'tireless' where the text reads 'fireless' in the phrase
to the tribe that waited for them, shivering and fireless,
(I PL from the scanned book. This appears to have been a misprint in the 'full text' version)

Max :D
p.s. your ' creepy old storyteller around a campfire voice.' is luscious!

Here's the touched up and luscious section 22. My voice seemed deeper today, so I pitch-shifted it just a bit to match.

draught is the British spelling of draft, drought is no rainfall
Corrected section 18 has been uploaded - ready for spot check.

And here's section 24, the last in the book. 18.8 Mb, 19:32. The script mentioned "a chimp of grass" which I read as "a clump of grass," even though chimp is much funnier. Darn that OCR... ^_^

Thanks Ted!
At least it was easy to figure out what it meant. :lol:

Although... lots of interesting creatures down there in down under. Who knows what else that has not yet been discovered. Grassy chimps do sound reasonable, once you have learned about the platypus... :shock:
