Hermit home after 40 years in cave
Published: June 14, 2005
A Solomon Islands man lived as a hermit in a jungle cave for 40 years before returning home when his fire went out, a report said today.
The man, identified as Philip Uduota, from the north-east of the island of Malaita had been living alone in a mountain jungle cave in the South Pacific island nation since 1964, the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp reported.
Uduota, who is aged about 80, depended on food which he gathered from the forest but he returned to his home village in search of fire after his own fire went out.
After reaching home, his relatives urged him to remain and he decided to stay with them in their village, the report said.
