Did a white crocodile eat a girl in Borneo or is there another explanation?

Nyla's father was the chief of a village along a river in Borneo.The people believed Malik the evil witch doctor in the tribe about evil sprits after them. One day a Christian teacher came to teach them about the God of Heaven who was far greater than evil spirits sent from Satan. Shortly thereafter, Nyla the chiefs daughter disappeared.She was believed to be eaten by a white crocodile whom the Borneo people believed was an evil spirit. But Nyla was not eaten by anything .She fell in the water and floated down river. She was about 3 miles downriver from her village.Her village men came looking but not on the side of the river where she was because they believed it to be cursed by evil spirits. One day the missionary Poojee and Nyla's father the chief went across the river to see Chief Sawa, a new convert to Jesus. Sawa said i hear the drums of god in my head so did Poojee and so they and the chief Nyla's dad went down river and they found Nyla waiting up in a big tree.She too, was a new believer and God had wrapped a huge python snake in bamboo so it could not escape and eat Nyla. Soon the site where Nyla had stayed for 10 days became a Christian village where Nyla and 100 village children went to school and learned to read and write
