Beyond the mystery of his motives, that bit of trivia is interesting to
me because of a possible link to "Teddy". What happened on Salinger's
cruise? Did he watch someone dump oranges over the side, or did he
interview a young Buddhist Holy Man who related the experience to him.

This may be completely off subject, but....As a young student Joseph Campbell
made the crossing to Europe with an equally young Krishnamurti. The two became
fast friends on the voyage. I could envision a scene somewhat like Teddy's.
Campbell was also only given small glimpses into Krishnamurti's spiritual
exercises, like our teacher in Teddy. It just reminds me of the Teddy parallel
a bit, sorry if I offended anyone.
Best,
