Stan fells the giant trees, pries grudging boulders out of the earth, builds up his own herd of cattle...
...orthodox Guardsman's salute and sang God Save the King-whereupon Villa delightedly conscripted Mike for ten months' service as a guerrilla leader. But Mike was soon heading south again for gleaming Panama Bay and the 20-ton yacht Cara. He spent years prowling the jungles and deep-sea fishing grounds with his like-minded ally, Lady Mabs, who made a hit as a healer by dosing the tribesmen with Epsom salts ("Most primitive tribes suffer from constipation...
