As history tells us, in those waning days of the British Empire, entrepreneurs Scott and his rival Roald Amundsen were in a race to establish the first bath house and poofter entertainment complex in what was believed to be an important, burgeoning business opportunity...Alas, the business venture failed, and Amundsen's group were the only survivors...
Only a single towel boy from Scott's group, taken along mainly because a lesbian masseuse named Nanookie of the South admired him and because his parole officer had let him out of sight, survived to tell his tale...His words and the cryptic notes found in Scott's notebook are all historians have to go on in their efforts to piece together the puzzle...
The towel boy, whose only name was Lefty, was found near a newly built convenience store in South Houston named "7-11" and his explanation was, "Scott told me to find a 7-11 and bring back some beer and ice, but I think he's crazy...That place is loaded with ice"...Deciding not to make the return trip, Lefty found work at a new bath house near what would become a major airport and poofter center, and raised a family to carry on his traditions...
Scott, whose poorly fitting dentures often caused his words to be garbled, wrote in his next to last entry, "Sent Lefty to find supplies at coordinates 7º south and 11º west...Told him be careful for fear of ice"...His final words read, "Where the hell is Lefty?...It's damn cold, and Nanookie is huddled up with the dogs...They won't let me near her"...
Shown below is an artist's concept of what Scott's accommodations may have looked like...
