Title: Nun hunts crocodiles for mission.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31791 NUN HUNTS CROCODILES FOR MISSION MOVEAVE, Papua -- With high-powered rifle ready, Sister Joseph Mary sails up-river from her remote mission hospital at Moveave, on the southwest coast of Papua, New Guinea, on a hunt for crocodiles. Spotting one, she will aim and fire and her assistants will drag the crocodile’s body aboard. Later the nun and her aides skin the crocodile and sell the skin to Australian traders, with proceeds going to her mission. A British author of adventure stories, Richard Pape, has credited Sister Joseph Mary with saving his life when grave infection followed an injury in the jungles of Moveave. Mr. Pape said he was brought to the mission hospital and the nun “pumped her entire stock of antibiotics into me.” Later he was taken to a hospital in Port Moresby where the completed his recovery.
