All my efforts in this and my previous\nmessage are just \"best guesses\" based on what I heard on the dramatised\nreading. Is it \"Baden\" or \"Badden\"? And how is the shark-man's name spelled?\n\"Hange\"?\n\nAnd talking of names, I realise that I never discussed the name of the\nmissionary on the island. His full name is - from memory - something like\n\"Mervyn Robertson\" or \"Robinson\", but he doesn't like his given name and\nprefers to be called \"Rob\". As some of the other names in the story are\nclearly significant, I wondered what Rob's name might indicate."
