  • (UA.96-98) In a letter packaged with a disguise kit, Jacques tells Lemony to get instructions for leaving the country at The Anxious Clown.
    (UA.109) Letter from J picked up from at The Anxious Clown. "When you present the second ticket, you should be disguised as a sailor."
    (UA.110) Post script indicates that the letter is addressed to Lemony Snicket.
    (3.43) Count Olaf's Captain Sham disguise includes a blue sailor hat, black eye patch and peg leg.


  • (UA.112) Prospero boarding pass reads:
    "Our latch string is hanging out / For true friends, old and new / You're welcome here, so come inside, / We've saved a place for you."
    The same poem is found on a sign in the post card on UA.155. This same post card carries a Shakespeare stamp on the reverse (UA.156), indicating that the card to Mr. Snicket is from someone affiliated with the Prospero.

  • (UA.153) An associate of Olaf, disguised as a cow "Approached a married couple who apparently own the Prospero to ask if any reptiles had recently boarded the ship. Couple, alarmed by talking cow, refused to participate."

  • (UA.156) "One of O's henchmen, disguised as a cow, approached us asking about Dr. Montgomery's reptiles. Don't worry -- we did not mention anything concerning our assistance with the Incredibly Deadly Viper -- but we hear that the henchman could use his disguise to cause trouble at Valorous Farms Dairy."


  • (UA.112) "Every Ship Has Its Own Fun!" from Prospero boarding pass
  • (UA.113) "Every Ship Has Its Own Schedule." from VFD Prospero boarding pass
