In his state of confusion and anxiety, the Western tourist was helped by Mr. Nguyen Hai Tho (40 years old), a local businessman on the tea island, who volunteered to accompany him to find his passport. Leaving one person behind to guard the luggage, Mr. Tho and Henry Paul traveled north from Cau Cau tea island along the Ho Chi Minh Trail on a motorbike.
