But the apparently convincing finality of the printed word can do lots of damage.

‘Airman Lives Eight Months on. Jungle ls

- ONCE UPON a time an actress named Marie Cahill sang a song that had. an appeal to Robinson Crusoe: “How could you do so?” If you ‘want to know how Lt. Gordon Manuel, bombardier of the 5th air force, was able to play Robinson Crusoe on the jungle isle of New Britain, the answer is that he had trained, unsuspectingly, for this career by tramping through the thick woods of Maine, The officer, a master sergeant when he was hurled into the sea from a burning B-17, tells his story with the help of Quentin Reynolds’ quick-paced prose in “70,000 to 1,” which is a way of saying that there were 70,000 Japs on the island when Manuel was evading them for eight months and 16 days. f

~ » » SGT. MANUEL was about 10 miles from Rabaul, New Britain, when his plane was shot down by Jap night fighters, of whose existence the Americans were unaware, The B-17 was called Kai O Kelelwa, or Guardian of the Heavens; a name ‘that the crew avoided when they could use an unprintable nickname, Sgt. Manuel was hit by shrapnel,

but he swam several miles to shore,

convinced that, like Robinson Crusoe, he could see things through. » - ” WHEN he found footprints on the sand and two natives at him he was ready for the Crusoe role. One of the helpful natives became his man Friday, looked after his shelter and food and brought him in contact with other allied fighters hiding from the Japs. In the long months Manuel learned to live on snake and shark's meat, felled a tree and made a canoe with the help of the natives and cultivated the company of a native missionary, who represented the Seventh Day Adventists of Australia in the thatched hut country. . » LJ I AM not going to describe all the close shaves that came to Sgt. Manuel; Quentin Reynolds will do that, But it occured to me that the marital history of Robin, Manupl's man Friday, might interest Americans who are baffled by our divorce laws. ? “He told me that he had married six times,” writes thé®officer. “He acquired his first wife in Wide Bay, but she spent all his money and he sold her quickly. There was no such

thing as divorce among the natives. If a man got tired of his wife,

he’d have to go after her and ‘was quite a nuisance, So her. His fifth wife must have very trying, for Robin shuddered when he mentioned her, “He only kept her a few weeks and traded her in for six pigs, He got the better of the deal, he said
