Outline

The men are amused to learn that Williams had an affair with a titled married woman. Ashwood is disgusted but he has further problems when a female welfare officer, Captain Tollemache, takes a shine to him, marooning them both in the jungle when their jeep ‘accidentally’ runs out of petrol. The men answer his distress call and take petrol out to him but Lofty spills some, Williams throws down a dog end and a fire is started. After the men put out the fire they find the two captains asleep in a tree.
