Notes
a. ^ Sparky Enea and Tiny Colletto later featured in a scene in Steinbeck's Cannery Row: "Sparky Enea and Tiny Colletti had made up a quarrel and were helping Jimmy to celebrate his birthday".
b. ^ Dates in this section are taken from The Log from the Sea of Cortez, though there is some doubt as to the accuracy of the dates: Chapter 25 of the book is headed "April 22" and sandwiched between two chapters for "April 3" and "April 5". The Western Flyer returned to Monterey on 20 April.
c. ^ The timing of the release of the book did nothing to help sales. It was published in the first week of December: the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and the subsequent entry of the United States into World War II focused the attention of the American people elsewhere.
d. ^ The republished narrative section even refers to the expunged appendix.
