The night was of Cimmerian dark
ness and the campfire Immediately in
front of the tent had burned down to
a few live Goals. Dillon threw an arm
full of dried palm leaves on the fire. A
dense smoke arose for a few tense
moments and then burst into flame.
We were gazing toward the jungle
and as the fire fiared up, brilliantly
Illuminating the surroundings, we saw
a magnificent specimen of the South
American jaguar standing motionless
not twenty PAGES distant. We fired
simultaneously. The jaguar gave one
bound into the jungle and all was still.
Lighting Il couple of lanterns, we
cautiously began a local exploring ex-
petition. About thirty feet from
where he had been standing when shot
we found the jaguar dead. He meas
ured eight feet from tip to tip and
showed ten wounds, two shots having
passed through the heart. Each of

The narrowness of the trail, with a
sheer drop of a thousand feet or more
into the canyon on one side, and the
drifting snow making the footing of
the mules insecure forced up to dis
mount and plod u way slowly up
ward in the teeth of the blizzard.
Several times the edge of the trail
gave way and caused a foot of n of
the mules to slip over, but the patient,
sure-footed little beast would cling
on until we could assist him back to
safety.
The trail was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
by the p~orteros as ''seven hells," which
is the limit of adverse criticism in the
~vernacular of the natives. We came
to places where the mules would to-
boggan down smooth faces of rock
twenty or thirty feet or where we
were forced to rig sings and pull them
up a like distance. The narrowness Of
the trail was our greatest danger. We
did not dare mount. Three of the car
go mules had already gone over the
edge, falling at least a thousand feet.
The pool little animals, weakened by
the terrific strain, would make a mis-
step, slip over hind feet first, and
cling pitifully to the ledge for a few
short moments. Then, the strain
being more than their tired muscles
could bear, they would give up the
fight for life and go crashing down to
a quick and sure death at the bottom
of the canyon. In this we lost
all u food but the cargo of beans,
the mule laden with this staple having
escaped the common fate. Owing to
the low temperature of boiling water
at that altitude-we were then nine
thousand feet above sea level-it re-
quired ten to twelve hours to cook
beans thoroughly. As we had neither
time nor fuel we were forced to exist
on half-raw beans for five days. 1
use the word "exist" advisely; any
one who has tried it will testify that
to subsist upon raw beans is certainly
not living.
