London [1958], Adventurers Club. Red cloth, very good, 195p, 34 b.w. photos, map, pictorial d.j. The author would broadcast to BBC and to Radio Malaya during his time in Malaya. He has probed the jungle at dawn for Ape-men, slept with the Negritos, the most primitive people on earth, won the confidence of Malay magicians and recorded their miracles, and penetrated the upper waters of the Teram where even Temog aborigines dared not enter and whose last- known visitors were found dead from blow-darts 6 years pre- viously. Stewart brings the Malayan jungle into startling and brilliant reality. .
