"And so, some day, I am going to "take my family and enjoy a long vacation on my little islet in the i South Seas--away from people, tele- phones, everything.

And so, if Charlie Bickford ever disappears, look for him 160 miles from Australia. He will be on his own island, enjoying a won- derful vacation."
