PASSAGE II Chumley was a full-grown chimpanzee; his owner, a district officer, was finding the ape’s large size rather awkward, and he wanted to send him to London Zoo as a present, so that he could visit the animal when he was back in England on leave. He wrote asking us if we would mind taking Chumley back with us when we left, and depositing him at his new home in London and we replied that we would not mind at all. I don’t think that either John or myself had the least idea how big Chumley was; I know that I visualized an ape which was about three years old, standing about three feet high. I got a rude shock when Chumley moved in.
