I 1 FLOREANA- A Modern Swiss Family Robinson She and her husband had come to this remote island to build a new life; now, alone and terrified, she faced childbirth and death By MARGRET WITTMER ILLUSTRATION BY FRANK GO10F.N Heinz and Margret Wittmer left Ger many in 1932 for a remote island 600 miles off the coast oj Ecuador. With them was the author's sickly 12-year-old stepson Harry, who they hoped would regain his health in the tropical climate. With only basic proui- sions, they began building a new lie on an island occupied by one other woman and an aloof vegetarian dentist, Dr. Karl ijitter. At the end of the year, Mrs. Wittmer prepared for the birth of her first baby despite Dr. Hitter's refusal to attend her. This is Part II of the Wittmers' true adventure, condensed from the book, "Floreana," by Margret Wittmer, to be published by E. P. Dutton in April, 3961. WE had been on Floreana three months. We lived simply, worked hard, and were content. We were making good prog ress with our new home our log cabin, 22 feet by 12, built with our own hands. All three of us were in good health. Harry had grown a lot and was much stur dier. If only his eyesight would improve, as we hoped it would in this green solitude. Solitude? We did not feel lonely. The short tropical day was so full we had no time for brooding. Theaters, films, enter tainment? we did not miss them. From our cave we had a wonderful view of the sea. In the evening we could watch glorious sunsets. We saw bright birds wheeling around, and the flowers shining in their brilliant colors. All this more than made up for the life we had left behind. Our house was ready at last, the essen tials at least: the kitchen and my bedroom. And the rooms were under a roof thatched with sugar cane to protect us from the in cessant rain. This was a palace, in compari son with the cave where we had first settled. We built low foundations from lava stones and the walls from logs. My first labor pains began the day after we finished the house, Dec. 30. Everything was ready: linen, bandages, cotton wool, scissors, and a tin of talcum powder. Would it be enough talcum, I wondered feverishly. I only had this one tin! Familv Weekly, January 15. J961 The pains became violent, but the day passed, and so did the night, though I scarcely slept. Heinz made a support for my back so I could sit up a little; the pains weren't quite so bad then. I felt alternately burning hot and freezing cold. Dawn crept on into morning; still nothing happened. Heinz and Harry worked hard that day, and when night came they dropped off to sleep at once, leaving me alone with my pains. I had to bite hard into the pillows so as not to scream. I didn't, either. Now it was New Year's Day, and surely it couldn't go on much longer. I was desper ate and couldn't eat any of the food Heinz lovingly prepared for me. I could only drink and drink. I was feverishly thirsty and felt as if my throat was burning. The third night went by like an age. It was 72 hours since the pains had started; they were more than flesh and blood could stand. That night Heinz and Harry hardly slept either. They got up while it was still dark. I heard them going out. I was so weak I couldn't even say anything anyway they would be back soon. They had gone out; I didn't know why. Perhaps they had heard a wild bull breaking into the garden. It was still dark. I felt as if all the air had left my lungs. Air! Air! I must have air! I couldn't stay in bed any longer. I got up, dizzy with fear and pain. "Heinz!" I tried to call, but could hardly hear my own voice. I went out of the house. Heinz and Harry might have gone to the caves. I staggered over toward the caves, half fainting. There was no one in the main cave. "Heinz!" It was more of a whimper than a scream; it wouldn't have reached outside the cave. There were a few things still left in the cave. I saw a crate, two crates. They were open, and there were books in them. A book yes, this was the time to find a book and read. It might calm me down a bit. A rickety table was still there, but there wasn't a spark of fire in the fireplace. Had they let the fire go out? I couldn't remember where I was; I didn't realize the house was 20 or 30 yards away from here.
