NEWEST RESIDENTS of the 

 jungle on Floreana's heights 

 are the Americans, Elmer Ains- 

 ley Conway and his wife, 

 Frances, who left California to 

 take up an adventurous exist- 

 ence in the Galapagos in May, 

 1937. Conway was a newspa- 

 per man and writer of fiction. 

 His wife formerly taught school 

 in Redlands, Calif. They cleared 

 an acre of ancient citrus jungle 

 and set up housekeeping in a 

 tiny shelter. In January, 1938, 

 they appeared happy with their 

 lot and determined to win ex- 

 istence in the open.
