Mes Amis,
I only have bits and pieces of this report but I will pass on what I have as you know I have spies EVERYWHERE.
The English Trader left but a few days ago to a far away place called New Zealand where a meeting with the Dutch Trader had been aranged in an attempt to open a new avenue of trade. While traveling thru the jungle, ET was taken by a tribe of natives, the likes of which she had never seen. Most of them were near naked and they were using stoneage weapons. They were taking her to their village and their intent was unknown. Possibly, she was to be used as a gift to the gods or made into a slave. During the long trek, the natives where unable to keep her quiet. After hours and hours of non-stop talking, a collection was taken up in the village. This will be paid to anyone willing to come and take her away, far, far, away. My spies also tell me that a request has gone out for the famous Doc M to come and treat those that have gone crazy from this.
As for me, I am sending 50 pounds of trade goods in an attempt to persuade the natives to keep her. The whereabouts of the Dutch Trader are as of yet, unknown. It is rumored, however, that one of the "near naked natives" looked strangely pale and female...
