LIGHTSHIP NO. 1O1 ASSIGNED.
Vessel Recently Built Goes to the
Cape Charles Station.

Lightship No. 1o1, the new vessel re-
Gently built at Wilmington, Del, is to
do duty in the local lighthouse district
and will probably be assigned to the
Cape Charles station. She will be ready
for her trials early in the coming
month and by the middle of the month
will be placed on the station. She is a
modern ship in all particulars, but, un-
like most of the light vessels on the
Atlantic coast, is an oil and not a coal
burner.
Recent changes among the officers
of lightships in the local districtFhave
been made as follows:

While there still remains much work
to be done, the expedition has added
very greatly to the chronological and ar
theological survey of the Amazon val

Some OF the duplicate material was
presented to the Goeldi Museum in
Para. for which the governor of the
state gave personal acknowledgment.
1t is gratifying to note that no mis-
understanding, loss or accident marred
the pleasure of the expedition, and
this was largely due to the friendly
interest and most valuable assistance
rendered by the. Brazilian government,

5000 Miles Up the River.

The second journey was made up the
Amazon some 5000 miles into Peru and
large collections made among the Conebo,
Shipbo, Cocama and Yahua tribes. The
Conebos are the noted pottery makers of
the Amazon. The Yahuas, although they
have been in contact with the whites for
generations. continue to dress in grass
no one is seen in white mans clothing.
1t had been arranged to continue the
work In Peru for some time, but the
banks in Iquitos were compelled to close
their doors on account of the European
war, thus making it necessary for the
party to return to Para for funds.

MAKES CLOSE STUDY
OF THE INDIAN TRIBES
Unable to Get Near the Venezuelan
Border, Great Deal Of Time Is
Spent in British Guiana.

Announcement comes from Philadel-
phia that William c. Farabee, the ex-
plorer. who has for three years been
in the valley of the Amazon in the in
terests of the University of Pennsyl-
vania Museum, has returned to that
city in good health. DIR. Farabee brings
with him enormous chronological, arche-
illogical and other collections for the
museum and on his journey took some
hundreds of photographs, including
many Of people and places never before
visited by white men.
The following account of the expe-
riences Of the expedition was related
by DR.. Farabee:
The expedition reached Para. at the
mouth of the Amazon river, June %.
1913, and established headquarters in
the American consulate. Several voy-
ages were made up the main stream
and side rivers of the Amazon and into
the interior regions between the rivers.
The first trip was made to the tribes
in the campo, or great grassy high
British Guiana. The party travelled by
steamship and launch up the Amazon,
Negro and Branco rivers to Boa Vista,
the center Of the cattle industry. From
there they continued the journey by
canoe up the Uracicuera, Majuri and
Maraca rivers and visited representa-
tives Of the Macusi. Wapisiana, Poro-
koto, Zapara and Azumara Indians,
making collections, physical measure
ments. photographs and vocabularies
An attempt was made to see the tribes
near the Venezuelan border. but was
unsuccessful on account of rapids and
low water. After reaching higher
point on the Maraca than had previous
ly been attained. thsy returned and
