Description

What girl would refuse a chance to go up-country to see a teakwallah’s camp in colorful Burma? With their homeward-bound liner delayed in Rangoon harbor Jill Ormond and her French friend Marcelle Duhomel jumped at the chance. All was perfect until an exhausted Burmese brought news of a plane crash on a jungle-clad hillside. Dick Ormond and his French doctor colleague had to go: men might be dying on that steaming hillside, and they were confident the girls would be all right. But before the new day dawned the dacoit Boh Thauk and his gang had taken over the camp and Jill and Marcelle and Naga the elephant had fled. How they were overtaken by a sudden flooding of a river bed after a monsoon storm and arrived at the crashed plane to act as nurses to the injured, with Boh Thauk and his men having to be kept at bay, makes a thrilling, colorful story.
