...Frustration began on the docks of Bombay, where $1,500 worth of lighting equipment was light-fingered away, continued apace when the New Delhi arrival of Old Betsy, Holiday's 20-ton icemaking compressor, was delayed ten days by a flood.

The deck was awash in 3 ft. of water; to the roof of the deckhouse there clung five sick and starving men, Eric de Bisschop and his four-man crew. Ahead of them lay the foam-edged sickle of the reef of Rakahanga in the northern Cook Islands. They had already missed landfalls at the Tuamotus, at Starbuck and Penrhyn Islands. There was no option but to shoot the reef at Rakahanga in the hope...
