the Mosquito coast. Imagine my sur
prise, therefore. when | learned that
was 20 spend two days on the river with
seven Representatives OF this almost ex-
tinct tribe.
THE early history of this people
seems shrouded in mystery. Some
writer's trace their origin to aboriginal
cannibals, while others declare that
they are the descendants of ship-load
of Africans wrecked on the shores of
Honduras many hundreds of years ago.
Even in the time of Columbus, Belt
says they We're known as warlike
race, ever ready to ravage the villages
of the peace-loving Nahuatals.
Whichever may be the true theory,
the present Carib of Mica
ragua certainly savors more of
the African than of the Indian.
Not only does he possess the character
istic features of the former, but also
the cultural dialect of the tribes along
the west coast of Africa. They are
tall athletic-looking race, with skins
smooth as velvet and black as ebony.
The fact that they all speak a little
English confirms my belief in their
Honduras origin.
when the Carib is not drunk he is
marvellous worker, and can paddle
a strong current from day
light until dark, never stopping even
