...Gaudens to build a memorial to Marian in Washington's Rock Creek Park, he took off on a slow boat to the South Seas. Like any tourist, he drank in the "purple mist and souffle" scenery, ogled the fetching island beauties. One erotic dance called for a kiss.

Such was the nightmare ordeal of 24 Europeans held prisoner by Communist-backed rebels in the Congolese town of Kindu, as recounted by a Belgian tin-mine employee.
