Lowry refers to the newspaper in his novel Ultramarine; "The Honolulu Star Bulletin says, "A name to conjure with". You see, unemolumented but monumental." (Pg. 95) Lowry has been attributed with "inventing" the word unemolumented (Supplement to the Oxford English Dictionary IV ed. R.W. Burchfield). Lowry is joking that he may be monumental but received no compensation or salary for his work. There is a latter echo in the 1940 poem "All I conjure of names from oblivion." (Poem 253 The Collected Poetry of Malcolm Lowry).
