French timed a test run from Manhattan to Zahns Airport to see how long the car carrying Murphy's passenger would take (1 hr. 40 min.).

("With FBI agents around me, I followed him into a candy store. I positively identified him, and my heart jumped clear up in my throat.")

The mayor passed the word to the Park Department, which had never heard of solenodons. When the Barinquen docked with the solenodons, one male had died. Remaining were a male, a female and a baby.
