  To continue with the tale... After we had rounded up the entire crew, Charles revealed the nature of the Something that the penguins had built.
It was to be a library- the Great Antarctic Library. It is palatial with seventeen spiral staircases, fourteen levels of reading rooms, four towers, three levels of catacombs, a formal parlour, a mezzanine, a ballroom, a reference desk of fortress-like proportions and 185 rooms altogether. It also has its own lighthouse, manned by several Fairy Penguins down from Tasmania on summer vacation. "Why a library, Charles? " I asked him. "To attract the Librarians," he replied. The little stowaways exchanged significant looks, but I did not follow.
Charles elaborated, "I do not fault you for not being aware, my captain, for they keep their infamous power a deep secret, but there are tribes of Librarians, migrating like nomads about the earth. There is a particularly large and formidable seagoing horde and they are rumored to have a fearsome icebreaking ship, known as the Panizzi. The Librarians are attracted anywhere they sense disorder, they feel compelled to re-organize and catalog and taxonomize..." "Oh, how awful! I don't want to be stuffed! " cried Estelle. "Taxonomize, not taxidermize," said Charles patiently.
"It means to create hierarchies of terms and to label things carefully. So they are drawn to libraries and particularly to libraries that are in a state of chaos. The King Penguin, who told me of the rumors he had heard of them, and I have set out to create for them a library in such irresistible chaos that not even the Antarctic ice will stop them from coming here, and smashing open a channel behind them as they do.
We can use it once we get your glorious HMS Juvenile Delinquent (Humpty-Dumptied) back together again. " "How will we do that, though, Charles? The crew have all gone mad. " The King Penguin had come over to join our conversation. He uttered some utterances and Charles translated. "These problems, he said, are but trifles to such prodigious and powerful Librarians as the crew of the Panizzi.
They will come and they will know what to do. The King Penguin is skilled in diplomacy, he will help us deal with them. " So we ushered in the Ice Mad crew, carrying their bits of HMS JD (flotsam) and set them loose in the Great Antarctic Library to create irresistible chaos and a siren song for the Pirate Librarians of the Panizzi. I am summoned to mediate a dispute, I will return shortly with more naration.
