The story

The witch doctor of the Sura tribe, Yilkuba, gives a prophecy to the tribe's king, Dawiya. He tells him to beware of war and "white magic." Dawiya laughs it off, but Yilkuba urges him to be cautious, particularly of “cold water that burns." Meanwhile, Mark Fernandez, a tin miner, receives a letter from his company chastising him for his poor work output and threatens to replace him if he doesn’t improve. Jean Stuart, a nursing sister, becomes stranded after her car breaks down on the way to the bush-hospital that she works at.
