The first time Gato sees Malibu he prepares to kill him, then recognizes his old crony and shares a drink with him. Both remain attached to Miss Parker. When his mate is killed, Malibu leaves their fawn with her to rear. The villain of Sequoia is a surly poacher named Bergman.

The one prohibition that has really hurt the tourist trade has been that of taking monkey-toed Tahitian girls out of their pareus and putting them into cheap print dresses.
