then fastened his end of the rope to
the package of supplies which had
been carried up, and we were able
to drag it across. This gave us the
means of life for at least a week, even
if we found nothing else. Finally
he descended and carried up two
other packets of mixed goods, box
of ammunition and number of
Fother things, all of which we got
across by throwing Our rope to him
and hauling it back. t was evening

A ND so it is that I have spent

I see no possible hope of Our re-

the edge of the plateau, we might
drop a return bridge across; but
there is none within fifty yards. Our

TO EXPLORE AMAZON

directs its attention for the time being.
The main purpose Of the expedition
is to study the Indian tribes OF the
Amazon valley. which have not been
studied in detail, and to collect Tor
the university museum specimens VI
their arts, industries, customs and
modes Of life. Their songs will be re-
corded on the phonograph, and their
dances and various activities Will be
reproduced by the moving-picture cam
era. Systematic studies will be made
Of the native languages. religious and
social systems and decorative art. In
brief, the expedition seeks. to furnish
as complete a record as modern meth
ods can afford of the native life OF the
Amazon valley and to illustrate these
studies by adequate collections assem-
bled in the university museum.
The remoteness and seclusion Of
many Of the tribes which will De
studied is indicated by the fact that
such a condition as that reported or
the Putamay river can exist In the
face of modern civilization and with
out interference from any local gov
ernment.
While the study Of native life forms
the main object Of the expedition, 9th
er aspects of exploration will not b'
neglected. A medical investigator vii
