Robert Louis Stevenson The Samoans insisted on surrounding his body with a watch-guard during the night and on bearing him on their shoulders to nearby Mount Vaea, where they buried him on a spot overlooking the sea on land donated by British Acting Vice Consul Thomas Trood. Stevenson had always wanted his Requiem inscribed on his tomb: Stevenson was loved by the Samoans, and his tombstone epigraph was translated to a Samoan song of grief. Half of Stevenson's original manuscripts are lost, including those of "Treasure Island", "The Black Arrow," and "The Master of Ballantrae". His heirs sold his papers during World War
Jack the Ripper in fiction alter-ego "Jack Hyde", but was still condemned by critics "as a tasteless exercise". The Dolph Lundgren vehicle "Jill the Ripper" (2000) reverses the traditional genders of victims and villains, with a female Ripper and male victims. In "Time After Time" (1979), based on the novel of the same title, Jack escapes in a time machine to modern-day San Francisco and is pursued by H. G. Wells. The pursuer was originally slated to be Robert Louis Stevenson in a link to the author of "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", but he was written out in favour of Wells.
