When he opened his eyes, the sick and half-drowned flyer saw an old woman handing him a gourd of soothing liquid. As he recovered he came to admire the natives' simple, tight-webbed community which, unlike modern civilization, gave each of its members a secure place; yet he also had to admit that this simplified life would soon make him restless.
