- General note - "First edition."
- General note - "Two adventurous Americans in the Filipino Bush, who went there with the idea of making a fortune from raising coconuts, ran into adventures such as they had never dreamed of--bloodthirsty Moros, sneaking cobras and pythons, poisonous spiders, and worst of all, the disintegrating climate which makes men "miss too many boats."
The author's account of the lost souls in this forgotten part of the world is memorable for its terrible realism. Wanderers who drifted into the Philippines and hung around so long they were reduced to "sunshiners." Old American Army men who had no other place to go after the war. And of course the natives. Seldom, if ever before, have the Moros and their primitive customs been studied at such close range and with such telling accuracy.
Vic Hurley and his friend set out to conquer the tropics. But in the end the tropics "got" them, and just how this happened makes a most dramatic and unusual adventure story."
