Only recently has the art of survival been studied scientifically. In 1952, to prove that properly trained men could endure the most extreme conditions, French Physician Alain Bombard set out from France to cross the Atlantic in a 15-ft. dinghy-without once tapping his sealed crate of emergency supplies.

After the parents are carted off, does Wolbricht take the easy course and turn Anton over to the authorities? Certainly not: he is honest. At great trouble to himself, he smuggles the boy to the country in a crate and leaves him alone in a mountain cabin with a three-week supply of food. Anton cannot feed himself, of course, being paralytic, but that is not Wolbricht's problem. Thinking well of himself, he returns to the city to sell the apartment lease. But what's this? A bump on his forehead the size of a pigeon...
