Summary of vicki constantine croke's elephant company

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In the jungle-clad hills of Northwest Burma, Billy Williams, delirious with fever, began to regain consciousness. He was riding an elephant through the raging Yu River, and he had never been sicker. He was grateful and believed in Bandoola, his elephant, who could navigate the crossing safely. #2 The order Hmit! was given, and Bandoola sank down, back legs buckling first into the sludge, then the front. Several Burmese men struggled to hoist the unconscious Williams up to the basket atop Bandoola's shoulders. #3 Williams knew the jungle was cruel, and that illness and accident were common among teak men. He and his colleagues tried to tough it out, but many died from simple ailments. #4 The journey took a toll on Williams, and he fell into a coma. When he woke up, he had to decide whether to travel overland through impenetrable virgin forest or by water, shooting down the dangerous rapids. Either way, he needed to reach the more populated banks of the mighty Chindwin River.
