Baron Grynadaal aided a man who lived like an ape for 12 years in Belgium and France. The sole survivor of the bark Myeran wrecked in 1895, he was found in the Soignies forest. Villagers and a crowd sought to capture him as he moved swiftly between branches. He bore a diving medal and facial hair like an orangutan. He was ultimately identified and returned to Norway amid strong emotion.
