They get the name of "White Indians" because of
their generally creamy skins, becoming darker in the
lower regions. They not white peoples If they were

Mr. de Lsntreppe's narrative Of his experiences is
follows:
.'South America, aside from its civilized populations
at the coasts may be summarized in terms Of French

cannibal indians for metals and additional rubber sup
