"Since the Capital Group [sic] overlooks the Nemaia valley, we tried to obtain Indian names for these peaks from the Nemaia band. However, two letters and a direct approach brought no response. As the mountains are surrounded by water on two sides, we [followed] a nautical theme... names from the song "A Capital Ship" by Charles Edward Carryl... Boatswain, Gulliby, Anagazanders, Tickletoeteaser..."
