Further down the Twitter thread of that link are a bunch of clarifications and corrections worth mentioning, like, (maybe?) wrong island.

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island. pic.twitter.com/rfOVjfU2ZY

Wow, first thank you for this excellent source!

I have seen so many references to Portman taking captives from North Sentinel, but the anecdote always plays out exactly as described here in his abduction of Jarawas, so now I have to think the story has been distorted elsewhere.
