In parts of Africa, manâ€"eaters have at times been protected by a curious native belief that. afâ€" ter death, human souls can enter the bodies of wild animals.

"That was in New Zeaâ€" iand, at my home in Dunedin. "At the age of twentyâ€"one ! was through with men for ever i bought my ticket to London und set out to seek adventure." Louise did private nursing in Soho for a year to save money for her trip. In the summer of 1951 she set out for Europe "on a perfectly ordinary bicycle." It was in Greece that she first ran into trouble. "I didn‘t have a visa for Turkey. Rather than hang around for two months waiting for one, I tried to cycie wcross the border without it."
