I reposted Chapter Nine with about four added paragraphs that fit in between Jake explaining he'd seen a latrine at the village and the paragraph detailing the work he put into it.
The content addresses the reaction of the locals to Jake's technology. I guess this got lost in the work, work and more work and Jake never really noticed it until sompeone dropped me a line and pointed it out. One of the reasons Jake didn't notice it was that what technology Jake and the two women were using was minor and for the most part had parallels in the locals culture. I hope what I added will clarify matters for the rest of you.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated.
