took a partner because I'd learned that
the dark places of earth are hard upon
man by himself. l met him at Port
Of Spain. and he was eager for the
adventure because he had just abscOnd-
ed from a British mercantile house in
Havana and the OrinocO sounded 70
him like a haven.
1--WE hired few negroes. Our real
guides we would pick up at Angos-
tura. One day while waiting for the
stores to be packed l took my partner
out TO show him what an orchid was.
Near the Pitch lake 1 saw one in
tree and ordered one of the negro
boys to shin up and get it. He would
not. A deadly snake dwelt in that
tree, he declared He was afraid

wasn't he?
ut was insubordination before the
expedition had even started. So l
cuned him and handed him my hunt
ing knife. Bring down that flower
and also the snakes head l ordered,
and, whining, trembling, he went up
the trunk. He was detaching the or
child from where it clung when a
thing like a spear, as black as his own
skin. suddenly struck at the boys
wrist. He screamed with terror and,
topping down. writhed with pain. He
died. and felt a gloom settle on my
spirits.
"Well, at AngOstura we took RATS
and six guides upstream. First one
guide died of fever; then another was
bitten by poisonous insects. One fell
in with--Or intO-an alligator. We
needed meat and the skin was worth
a good deal, so half in revenge, half
in curiosity. we went out and plugged
holes in the monster. When the guides
cut it open they stopped and drew
things out-the bones and the cotton
clothes Of the guide this cannibal rep
tile had swallowed. The very knot
was still in his sarong. Oh. don't
sduirm! This is orchid hunting
I'VE had three guides left at the
end Of the second month, when, pad
ding along one day where the vines
overreached and let snaky tendrils
draggle down, we came TO fifty yard
clearing. We saw there the sides Of
three canoes, half smothered with rap
id growing vegetation, and 1900 alli-
gator skins well salted, but decayh :.
