CA|VV|BAL INDIANS
 IN GULF QF CALF Mysterious Tribe of Seris Have Long Evaded Close

ROssman continued That was what l was told when L left La paz in little power boat. l had five MeXicans with me- but when l reached the shallow water bordering Tiburon Island l could not induce them to get out of the boat ] Waded ashore and spent q few hours going over the island. I saw many traces of Seri Indians but did not get sight of a single one of them.
 Never Returned
 rt is a fact which is corroborated by the government authorities in Mexico that many parties of Ameri- cans and MeXicans who went to Tiburon Island during the last 50 to

where they trade skins, fish and shells for whatever they may be able to get in return. In appearance the Seri women are short and heavy, but erect and graceful. They are very joval and always invite those with whom they have dealings to visit the island, asserting that there is no possible danger.
 It was in 1897 that Capt. George Porter and a sailor went ashore from a little schooner that was trading and shell hunting along the gulf. They had not gone more than 50 yards from the boat in which they landed when Captain Porter was seen to fall and the sailor turned to run back to the boat. He dropped before he had gone 20 yaros. Yet not an Indian was to be seen.
 Visited in 1898
 In 1S96 a party of seven Americans visited the island in search of gold. They were well armed with repeating rifles and revolvers. Before they had been on the island an hour two of their number had been shot from ambush, and the remaining five com pelled to retreat to their boat fight
  of them were so badly wounded that three afterward died, and one was in a hospital in Mazatlan for several months with fostering wound from poisoned arrow. An expedition was sent to the island three days after the attempted invasion, but no trace of their bodies could be found nor could any of the Indians be seen.
 About year later a party of three Americans went to the island to hunt shell. They walked close together along the shore, never being more than 10 feet apart. For several hours they were molested, and, thinking they were in no danger separated, one of the men linge ring behind ex- amining some rocks that appeared 10 bear gold. In a few moments his companions heard a cry and turned to see him fall. They hurried towards

100 years never came back. They are believed to have been killed and eat en by the Indians. Some years ago d large body of Mexican troops secured the island, killed more than 100 men, women and children in re- Venge for the murder of a Mexican woman whom band of Seris tried to capture.
 Attempts have been made by both Ann mCriCan and Mexican scientists to discover tribal customes and manners but little has been learned. It is deemed unsafe to visit the island ex- cept in strong forces and then no h. dans can be found It is believed that they retain all of the savage rites that were originally performed by the early Indian tribes. Scientists who have made superficial investigation Of tht Seris are of the opinion that they are an offshoot of the Yaquis. though their language and customs ore entirely different. The Yaquis have been in contact with civiliza- tion so long that they have abandon ed many of their old customs.

During the rainy season, which is marked with frequent se- were storms, the savages seek shelter in the CreVices of the rocks or the lee of the hills. They also wear the skins of pelicans or wildcats when the weather makes it necessary for their bodies to be protected.
 Of Powerful Physique.
 Some of the Seri men are seven feet tall and all are of powerful physique and possessed of great endurance. It is said that they can run a deer to death and they have been known to capture horses in the same manner. They follow the animal until it drops from exhaustion.
 It is seldom that the men of the tribe leave their island home. They send the women to the mainland,
