It may have\nbeen on the second day, which ends with his realization that the\nAmericans are more deformed than he had thought. There may even be one\nor more entire days missing here; there's no way to tell. But one thing\nis sure: the \"fear\" passage _cannot_ have been written earlier than the\nthird day. Everything follows from this. "
