The Island of Doctor Moreau
H. G. Wells and Darryl Jones
Abstract
The only island known to exist in the region in which my uncle was picked up is Noble’s Isle, a small volcanic islet, and uninhabited. It was visited in 1891 by HMS Scorpion. A party of sailors then landed, but found nothing living thereon except certain curious white moths, some hogs and rabbits, and some rather peculiar rats. No specimen was secured of these. So that this narrative is without confirmation in its most essential particular.
