18* TreasureMap: The guy who knew the whereabouts of the treasure hidden on Crusoe's island (a golden cannon) tattooed it onto the back of the guy he was stuck in prison with - while the mapmaker was sinking deeper into dementia. Remarkably, the map worked, though it was coded so only Crusoe could figure it out. The map resurfaces much later as a guide to the island - salvaged from the poor guy's back after he died.
19-->'''Jeremiah Blackthorn''': Is this leather?\
20'''Santos Santana''': Not exactly.
21** Friday later explains Crusoe's surprised reaction to seeing the "leather" version by joking that Crusoe "knew the map's previous owner".
