Gilligan & the Skipper, happening to be lost at nightfall (as they will later tell it), in the last possible light come upon a cabin, hardly more than a shed, of weathered fragrant old wood, beneath a sagging roof, showing no lights (or coconuts), to Apparition, abandoned for years,---yet, its ancient doorsill once traversed, the Sailors find more room inside than could possibly be contained in the sorrowing ruin they believ'ed they were entering."
