New York.-May 21.-Those who
saw Theodore Roosevelt on his re-
turn from Brazil realized from his ap-
pearance that he had passed through
a trying time Though his cheeks
were bronzed, his smile pleasant and
his grip firm, there were many traces
of the hardships he had endured in
his six-hundred mile journey down the
Rio Duyida, the unknown river he
explored.
The trip from Para. which began
May T. did much to restore Colonel
Roosevelt. 1t gave back TO him twen-
ty-five or thirty of the fifty-five
pounds he had lost, and the jungle
testers that ran from the ankle to the
knee OF his right leg were nearly all
healed
Il have been very i'll with jungle
fever" he said on his arrival, but I'm
all right now; | feel fine
1t was from April to April Is, it
was learned, that Colonel Roosevelt
was gravely ILL., Other members OF his
party including his son, Kermit, were
i'll in that time, but the Colonel him
self was so sick and weak that there
were days when one hundred yards Of
travel marked the measure OF his en-
durance.
For five days Colonel Roosevelt was
delirious with 1861 of fever. Under 1t
he begged his companions. it is stated,
to go and leave him where he lay in
the jungle.
Actual starvation menaced the party
during the last of the sixty days that
were taken up by the journey down
the Duvida. The pinch was sharper
by far, it is said. than was indicated
by the leaders declaration that they
had to hold themselves to half-rations
At Manaos, the point of the expedi-
tons return to civilization, Colonel
Roosevelt was still SO i'll that he had
to be helped aboard the steamer Dun
stan, on which he travelled to Para.
During the four days of his stay on
the Dunstan he was confined to his
bed Not until the first day of his
stopover at Para did he show the i'm
provement which has continuedsince.
The Colonel rested from Tuesday un-
went to Oyster Bay to meet his
neighbors.
Next Tuesday he plans to go to
Washington to address the National
Geographic Society on the results OF
his Brazilian exploring trip and on
May 80 he probably will start for
Europe, to attend, in Madrid, the we'd
ding of his son Kermit.

Oyster Bay-Twelve hours after
Theodore Roosevelt returned from
South America he was back in the
thick of politics. He was up early and
as soon as breakfast was over he was
hard at work. picking up the threads
where he dropped them seven months
ago. Colonel Roosevelt, it was
learned, looks forward to one of
the hardest political campaigns OF
his career.
