I sent the note below in a hurry and I forgot to
say it is for you ( who can fill in the missing links, it is too vague for the
list ).
Van last act is not related to the Crimea war or
"capitulation", as it seems to have been my suggestion. What I meant was that when his act ended ( with
references to Russia, Argentina, Crimea ), the link bt. Russia/Artic/Argentina
through Russian Admiral Lisiansky was severed by the Crimea
capitulation.
No time for longer explanation... If you are
interested I can send you more information on Lisiansky later.

Subject: Sultry skies of Argentina
Dear Don,
Still following the Mascodagama thread I discovered
that the Russian various conquests during their Artic expeditions to find a
link between Alaska and Siberia ( maritime exploits that also included
Argentinian Patagonia in the "netherworld" of South America
) were ended ( like Mascodagamaīs last act ) by the Crimea
war.
This might be the reason that the Crimea dancer
sang in Russian about the sultry sun of Argentine...
After its defeat in the Crimean War, Russia did not want to cede its Alaskan
territories to Great Britain and so transferred them to the United States in
1867. This marked the end of Russian presence in North America. Russian
explorers contributed to making known the west coast and its people, from Alaska
to California, including present-day British Columbia.
Remember Adaīs agonies in Patagonia,
Captain Grantīs explorations of Cape Horn, Vanīs dreaming of three fabulous
trains and one that went through Brazilia to Viedma ( Argentine
& witch).
The link is with Admiral Lisiansky ( he named the
island where Demonīs plane crashed )
