Horrible Custom of a South American

The Ucayali Indians, numerous

cannibalistic tastes, who inhabit both
banks of one of the uppermost and

have system by which they preserve

friends can always identify those that
have gone to the happy hunting
ground as surely as if gazing at

To accomplish this they cut the head
from the body, but retain the long hair.
The CHASTITY, bleeding trophies of
days battle or a nights massacre of
their enemies are suspended by the
long, straight black hair to the limb
of tree. Directly under this they
dig hole, which they fill with water.

This steaming process has the effect
