Solomons Islands hermit

Brief news article about a Solomon Islands man who lived as a hermit for forty years in a mountain jungle cave. He returned to his native village because his fire had gone out. The villagers urged him to remain with them, and he decided to do so. The man is about eighty years old. URL: http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,15486825%255E1702,00.html.
