Some Congressional estimates ran as high as $1,500,000,000.

When they ran into rough weather and it turned out that none of them knew navigation, they beached the boat, started back through dense jungle for the Penal Colony. A peg-legged convict killed a comrade for his can of condensed milk, and the leader in turn killed him. They roasted and ate his liver and his good left leg, of which Belbenoit confesses that one mouthful (which tasted like wild pig) was enough...
