Yes, thank you.
Why does Marlow say all that stuff about feeling that he was becoming "scientifically interesting" at precisely the time that he explains - or fails to explain - what happened to the fat man? Also, how does the development of the character called Marlow - and the character of this character - over the course of its development from 'Youth' through 'Heart of Darkness' to 'Lord Jim' not support the commission of a mercy killing in the bush of a flabby devil? This action is absolutely critical to any understanding of 'Heart of Darkness' as well as Marlow's empathy with Jim in the subsequent novel,'Lord Jim'. Awake old bean!
