Yes it was a tense situation all right but nothing Jim or Jay had yet imagined was as bad as what actually happened. The Indians were about twenty paces away when Jim saw them the gray spots. The skins of every one of those Indians were gray and blotchy and spotted spotted with the most dreadful disease known to the world. Leprosy! Jim yelled: "Stop, McKay atop." McKay uttered Just one word. "Lepers! " Then both of them turned and started to run back to their canoe.

Jim says that worrying about their exposure to leprosy was bad enough, but the real horror of the business didn't hit thsm until a week later. Then, tiny, round gray spots began to appear on his and Jay McKay's wrists and arms. "The shock," says Jim, "was terrific In fact McKay's hair turned snow white at the age of thirty. I wished that I were dead then and there, and I guess McKay did, too. Have yon ever seen the Louisiana leper colony, or been In the Ladrones?

We knew that no prayer could cure us, but I believe today that they saved us from a worse death madness!" And then, one day as they were rounding a turn near the mouth of the Maderia river, they came upon another white man a doctor from the English hospital at Porto Velho, and Jim says that If there ever was a messenger from heaven come in answer to a prayer. Doctor King was that messenger. There in the Jungle he gave them a brief examination. and then he told them the news.
