_______________________________________________
Have you noticed that in this book Captain lost his beloved hat? The hat that he had to catch when it fell even though it almost caused him to fall from the rope he was holding on to and into the river. The hat that he had to go back for when if fell from his head even though him and Tintin were in a hurry to catch a plane. He obviously must have taken it off in Mr. Carreidas’ plane and forgotten it (in the confusion of it being hijacked) and that was the last we saw of it. He must of then bought a new one just like it in time for his next adventure in Tintin and the Picaros.
