wILMIyGToN's AMAZON TRIP.
Gunboat sailed without Piiots-Na'

NEW 1bih ~ DtlhJ
RIO DE JANEIRO. July 1.-THE trip Of
the United States gunboat Wilmington
up the Abazon river to Tabatinga and
up the MADEIRA river in April and May
impressed the Brazilans with the power
Of the United States, but the return Of
the gunboat to the sea without the aid OF
pilots is regarded as almost superna-
tural.
on the trip into the heart OF the South
American Continent the ship and officers
were well received at ManaOs 1900 miles
from the ocean, where the vessel coaled
and proceeded 1900 miles up the Solimoes
branch Of the Amazon 10 lquitOs, Peru.
After departing from Manaos the news
arrived that the government claimed
that the Wilmington had assembled the
Amazon without permission, and the
newspapers printed infiammatory articles
to the effect that the gunboat was max
ing sounoings and surveys Of the river
10 assist the contemplated annexation on
the Amazon Valley by the United states.
When the Wilmington, on her return
from Iquitos. arrived before Manaos her
bristling battery OF guns caused many
serious thoughts in the minds OF the
natives as TO what they should do II she
opened fire on them
The gunboat wanted coal and pilots 70
proceed 700 miles down the Amazon and
get back 10 the sea. The ranking oihcial
in ManaOs was the naval officer COM
handing the Amazon fleet OF small gun
boats and also acting as captain OF the
port. To him tbs commander OF the VIII
mlngton wrote a formal and courteous
application for pilots TO take his ship
down the Amazon 20 Para.
The captain OF the port not only wrote
a disoourteous letter in reply. but pub
lished an order IN the Manaos papers for
Bidding any pilot from serving on the
Wilmington, under penalty OF imprison-
ment and revocation OF license.
How TO navigate 100 miles In the
treacherous Amazon without pilots was
a hard problem for Captain Todd. Eng
lish and German captains who have
traded on the Amazon all their lives re-
fuse 10 move without two Indian pilots.
When the impossibility OF obtaining pilots
was reported to Captain Todd, he said 10
