You have the Chinese who might be something else because nobody has 
seen a Chinese yet when he appears. Later he tells the Surveyors that 

he's not a Chinese but might be Father Zarpazo himself. Then Stig, 
the Hyperborean who pretends to be a Swede. So what should we think 
of Catfish? Clothes are easy to steal and wear but the Birt accent 
takes time to imitate... but if Catfish is not what he seems, what 
should we think of his story? Not to mention the fact that the man 
who tells the story is an untrustworthy remembrancer, imbecile with 
age...

While I guess that the matter of exchange is the really promising 
trail... what happens when Indians adopt rifles? That is the 
question, much more than "who was the original owner".
