tains of Peru, near the Bolivian border,
they caught sight of great nest in hole
of a ruined Inca wall.
There was a hen condor sitting on her
eggs, and Immediately Besley signaled
to Jack Holbrook to get the picture. The
wall was about eighty yards away across
deep ravine, and while the camera man
adjusted his telephoto lens the explorer
stood watching, rifle in hand, so inter-
ested in the mother bird that he never
noticed a black speck in the sky like a
distant a6roplane, that came nearer and
nearer. 1t was the male condor, his wings
spreading sixteen feet, that was sweeping
downward from the blue heavens to the
rescue Of his mate.
There was no sound, no cry; but sud-
denly the great bird struck the man with
the tip of its wing, and the man went over
like child's toy Then, with talons that
could lift sheep, the condor struck at
his fallen enemy. The Captain was help
less. His rife had been knocked from his
hands, and he was dazed by the swift at
tack. He lay on his back and kicked at
the bird with heavy boots. The guardian
of the silent heights came at him meaning
to kill-there was no doubt about that

ley's skilD still Holbrook stuck to his
camera and ground away.
The result was one of the most re-
markable motion pictures ever taken of
murderous river in the height of its fury.
Adventures with Snakes
THERE was constant danger from
snakes, not only in the jungles, where
huge serpents squirmed along the river
banks and hung from the branches OF
trees, but at great mountain heights
among the Inca ruins, where they came
upon very small and venomous adders.
One day the Captain witnessed Il fight
between hoglike tapir weighing 400
pounds and boa constructor. 1t took
the snake exactly two minutes to crush
the tapir to death in its powerful folds;
whereupon the Englishman, needing hog
meat for his Indians, finished the boa
with his rifle.
Were any Of your party bitten by ven.
omous snakes?' | asked Captain Besley.
"Yes," he said, "four of my men were
bitten; but we had our little medicine
chest and managed to save them. 1t was
a case of strap the tourniquet tight above
the wound and then quick with a hypo-
dermic of permanganate of potash"
Evening star., 1915-06-13

so the Captain organized his expedition
and started. And he came through.
The trip cost him $4,000 and indescrb-
able suffering; but he came through.
The Dogs Saved Them
THERE were days and nights when the
expedition, six white men and a dozen
native porters (more or less loyaD, lived
with the poisoned arrow peril hanging
over them, and the deeper they pene-
trated into the forest the more closely
their silent enemies drew about them.
"If it hadn't been for our dogs said
Captain Besley, "they would have got us
sure, every man of us; but our dogs knew
their business. There were eleven of
them, all trained, Airedales, hounds, and
Belgian police dogs, and wonderful
Scotch collie named Napoleon that | had
clipped close against the terrific heat.
Poor Napoleon!
"Those dogs knew that the Indians
We're tracking us to kill us, and whenever
a band would come near they would sniff
and jump high in the air to warn us of the
danger, and then we would get busy with
shovels and axes and machetes and build
a barricade. Sometimes, under favorable
conditions, our Indians could smell the

eyes, it's raw red head, it's white-feathered
collar, bristing in rage, and he wished for
his rife.
Holbrook dared not shoot for fear of
hitting his comrade, and the only thing
that saved Besley was moment of respite
when the condor, after vicious blow
from Besley's boot heel, swept upward to
gain strength for new attack, whereupon
the photographer raised his rife and fired,
just as the bird, screeching its hate, shot
downward to finish it's victim.
This happened in an untraveled wilder
ness near the head waters of the Amazon,
1000 feet above the sea.
This Photographer No Quitter
THE expedition had thrilling expert
ence in descending the Rio Hualaga
For thirty-six days they foated down this
perilous river on huge raft built to
stand the suction of treacherous whirl-
pools at the foot of furious rapids that
make the Huallaga dreaded by the most
expert native boatmen. 1t was Holbrooks

in the distance
"How many of the enemy were follow
ing you?'
Il don't know We hardly ever saw
them: only glimpses of heads or arms be-
hind the trees. In one fight there were
about seventy against us. 1t wasn't so
very funny, the singing of their darts and
arrows and the chunk, chunk, chunk as

IN the eastern slope OF the Andes
there is wild and dreaded region,
the poisoned arrow country, which
~ has recently been traversed for the
first time by an English expedition, headed
by Captain James Campbell Besley. This
region lies between two great rivers, the
Rio Huallaga and the Rio Ucayale, rush
ing tributaries of the Amazon, which pour
their mighty floods through dense South
American forests. Here dwell tribes of
fierce Indians, whose hatred for white men
is like that of the wildcat or the rattle
snake. They fight with poisoned arrows
SO deadly that a scratch of the tainted
barb means death; at least, no antidote
has yet been found for the concentrated
vegetable poisons in which the darts are
dipped.
To pass through this region, therefore,
means almost certain death. Caspar
Whitney, in his book, "The Flowing
Roads," speaks Of it as the barrier beyond
which white men may not pass, and of six
expeditions that have entered here in re-
cent years (two were from Chicago and

shot through them, although
Besley declared the thing
impossible.
"You're crazy, Jack!'
said the Captain. "We'll
go through there at fifty
miles an hour. The boga-
dores paddle menD will be
lashed to the logs, and
why, your camera would be
smashed to pieces and you'd
be swept overheard"
1t was evidently impossi-
bic, but Holbrook proceeded
to do it. He scooped out
holes in the buoyant balsa
logs for his tripod legs to
rest in, and lashed the cam
era fast with lianas so
strongly that it stood at the
back of the raft like II tree.
And when they entered the
raging waters, when the
whole siXty-foot structure
was spun about like Il top
in the whirlpool and was
smashed through jaws of
jagged rock and hurled
ahead a mile in a minute
through binding spray, still
somehow Jack Holbrook
ground out his film. And

one of the bogadores away

Captain Besley's was the
seventh expedition.
Who is Captain Besley?
He is an Englishman of for
tune, a great traveller, a fine
polo player, and a man who
knows wild animals and
wild men from having hunt
ed them and faced them all
over the world. In the
Boer War he was one of
Kitchener's fighting scouts.
He stands six feet two, he
is 1.-THE and quick in his
movements, and his hair is
white as snow.
In 1912, having tired of
other things, Besley decided
that he would have a try

that soar over vast solitudes of the snow

from the natives that condors are dam

mating or breeding season; but he thought
little of these tales. He was accustomed
to greater perils, and had forgotten all
about condors, having seen none of them
for months, when one day in the noun
