"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony, in Eight Fits" by Lewis Carroll is a nonsense poem written between 1874 and 1876. A crew of ten oddly-named members embarks on a peculiar voyage to hunt the mysterious Snark, a creature that may prove to be a deadly Boojum.

When one crew member finally locates their quarry, he vanishes without trace, confirming their darkest fear about the Snark's true nature.
