And they say that between the In
tervals of swinging his axe that peon
is still trying to find out how three
fives make Is when he gets but one

Women and even young girls are
taken into this slavery, and in the
Mexican towns there are ugly tales
of kidnapping told.
After the mahogany trunks are cut
and trimmed by the slaves they are
stamped with name and date and
set adrift in the river. Some of the
logs take as long as four years to
make the trip; others never are
found. Nevertheless, the traffic is
highly profitable, as the monteros
pay no wages, and the expense of
keeping the poems alive on corn is
very small. Occasionally a log drifts
down the river with some poor peon's
message of appeal for release from
bondage nailed to its surface.
