'A large two-engined passenger plane waits in the blazing mid-day sun of a Bolivian aerodrome. It is about to take off over its dangerous course and its engines are ticking over. In the cabin is an English explorer with a clipped moustache. Almost as the plane begins to move, the Englishman is joined by a distraught Australian, who seems anxious both to catch the plane and to avoid travelling on it. Has he had a foreboding? Or is he just naturally hysterical?'
