Day two - alarums and excursions
After several unsettling moves, and a midnight encounter with double-booked intruders, the expedition members venture out upon their lanai as the sunrise reveals roseate Lanai.
Heartened by the new day's promise, the travelers venture south to Lahaina, which they identify by a mysterious vast monogram, a structure carved upon the side of the West Maui Mountains by island natives sometime in the forgotten past.
There, beneath that foreboding massive glyph, they spot another visitor to this strange island, a zebra dove (geopelia striata). The dove, a recent Asian immigrant (1922), seems curiously unworried by massive monogram looming on the mountainside above it.

Acting as spirit guide, the creature leads them to an island totem, guardian of one of the island's holy places: the Cannery Mall.
Inside the sanctum, a frenetic priest of the scuba religion, Dive Shop Mark, assembles the relics of snorkel with blinding speed and presents them to the expedition.
