Boykin's men didn't arrive on schedule, it took Joe Ga and his team three days of waiting in the jungle before a cargo ship, converted from an inland fishing boat, accompanied by three speedboats, slowly made their way to a relatively flat riverbank under the afterglow of the setting sun.
As the rainy season was over, the water level of the river had dropped considerably, and the cargo ship couldn't dock completely. It had to stop in the middle of the river. Then, a floating bridge was constructed using three rubber rafts, on top of which planks were laid for the people on the ship to transport materials.
A bald white man leapt off the ship as soon as the floating bridge was finished.
The drop between the cargo ship and the rubber rafts was only 1.5 meters, but the bald man didn't land securely. His arms flailed like windmills, trying to maintain balance, but he ultimately plunged headfirst into the muddy river water.
