The trip north to Helminth House for production of the 20th episode was disastrous. Stormy seas between Ile St. Paul and Ile Amsterdam destroyed the first boat containing the cast and the Retired General Eastlesswater was abandoned in a rescue raft for almost 4 hours. In those 4 hours, the General cannibalized both of his stunt doubles, ate the original SecBlob who was to costar with him, and the episode's writer who was only one day away from retirement. Despite the resulting indigestion, the General performed his scene admirably, though his flatulence on that set on that day resulted in the deaths of two more crewmen and the extinction of the Phylica Arbor.
