FLOREANA (Continued)
MNNMS SMOi CO. 140 M..L
Footsore as I was, I had to go up to look
at the spring. In contrast to our first grim
view of the sandy, lifeless shore with its
black rocks, this circle of green trees was
something from a fairy tale. After the glare
of the sun which had beat down on us for
the last part of our march, it was wonder
fully cool and pleasantly dark in the shade
of the thick foliage.
The cool spring water gushed and gur
gled, sparkling like quicksilver. We put our
hands in it and held them against our burn
ing faces; then we drank from our cupped
hands the first water the island had offered
us. In that moment we forgot all the trials
of the last days. Now at last we felt secure.
Yes, if all went well the first native of
Floreana would soon be born. When we left
Europe in June, I already was expecting a
child, though it was not certain till we were
on the high seas. My sister, whom I had
left so abruptly in Cologne, impulsively
rushed over to Amsterdam to see me off,
and I was pretty sick most of the time until
we sailed. She was horrified at the idea that
I was probably pregnant and would have
to have my first baby on a remote Pacific
island with no physician or midwife or
drugs, not even a telephone. I had shared
her apprehensions at the time, though I
tried not to show it. But now I was looking
forward to the day: the new arrival was
due around the end of December.
Meanwhile, our settling continued. It was
weeks before the first piece of land was
cleared enough to live, more or less, from
our own planting: weeks of laborious work,
which filled the whole day, took my mind
off my condition. The days were so short,
and there was so much to be done!
Sometimes Heinz gave up a day to hunt.
We needed meat, he especially for his la
bors. One time he would shoot a small boar,
another time a bull. We soon had so much
meat that we couldn't eat it all at once, and
we had to learn how to preserve it.
It had rained incessantly. Four or five
hours of sunshine a week were more than
average, and we were grateful for every
bit: on the whole, the climate up here was
rather depressing for an expectant mother!
When the sun did appear, I would sit
outside the living-room cave, sewing the
first baby things. It is not so easy to shake
off the habits of civilization; even on a des-

ert island, you keep on doing crochet work
around a baby's vest. I'd also made a pillow
for the baby but didn't have the stuffing.
"Have to feather our own nest," remarked
Heinz, and promised to shoot one of the
sea birds for stuffing.
I Begin to Have Doubts
Despite all these preparations, however,
I was beginning to get rather apprehensive
partly about the house, of course. Heinz
and Harry had so much else to do, and
there were only three short months for
building our house before the coming of the
baby. The cave wouldn't do for a nursery;
the lava stone was so soft that the rain
water kept seeping through.
Apart from all this, having your first
baby was a bit alarming in itself. "We've
at least got someone with medical knowl
edge on the island," said Heinz comfort
ingly, "so nothing much can go wrong."
That was true, and the next time Dr. Rit
ter dropped in to see us for a few minutes,
I asked him: "You will help me, won't you,
Dr. Ritter, when the time comes?"
"I'm afraid not," he said to my surprise
and dismay. "I didn't come to Floreana to
practice as a doctor. I can't sit round here
all the time, can I? I've got too much to do.
But you can let me know if you need me."
How could any man be so heartless, I
thought. How was I going to let him know
when my labor began? Heinz wouldn't
want to leave me on my own, and poor
Harry's eyesight was so bad he would never
find his way.
Dr. Ritter evidently realized my disap
pointment and did his best to soften the
blow. "You mustn't take it all so seriously.
Children are born every minute of the day
it's nothing to be frightened of. As you
work hard and keep moving all the time,
you'll find everything will go off smoothly."
I can't say I found this much comfort,
but I hoped he was right.
(But the birth does not go smoothly, and

milhout medical aid but without husband
and son. Ind (hen, alone in the climax o
her labor, she hears the dreaded roar oj
