Scientist To Dare Jungle PeriLS In
Search For Race OF Wild DWarftS
HUNTSPICMY
TRIBE With
AN AIRPLANE
Prof. Matthew w. Stirling VIII
Head An Expedition Into
New Guinea

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18.-The
chief of the pigmy tribe will beat his
chest and screech his widest war cry,
summoning bands of three-foot black
men from their caves. And the max
ed midgets of savagery will scurry
across swamps to look up from the
jungle to the skies.
There they will see gigantic bird
stiff-winged, swooping down with a
roar, and the pigmies may scatter
to shelter or they may hide in wait
ing, ready to make their kill when
the strange bird alights.
If they dare to wait they will see
the bird splash ovevr the swamp,
belching puffs of smoke; and out
from the very body of the bird five
creatures like themselves, but twice
as big, will jump.
And if the pigmies still dare to
attack they will find themselves in
fits of coughing, great tears will run
from their eyes and then everything
will go black. The pigmies will lose
their sight.
All this is to happen nan island
of Dutch New Guinea, off Batavia,
in the jungle land of the pigmies--
never trespassed by civilized people
If the expedition of Professor
Matthew w. Stirling is a success.
Stirling, who was cruator of the
National Museum in Washington for
five years, leaves San Francisco in
the middle of this month (Novem-
ber) for Batavia. He expects to
find the pigimy tribes which man has
sought many times and as many
times has failed to find and he ex-

poets to do it with an airplane!
The island of the pigmies is some
5000 miles long and 200 miles wide.
On its shores live head hunters and
cannibals, wild men who are yet wild
even to American tourists. If it
were not for the high mountains,
that rise 500 feet, and the dense
jungle that cups the center of the is
land in swampy land, these cannibals
long ago would have annihilated
their little fellows of the island, The
pigmies.
But penetrating the jungle is nigh
impossible. Four hundred natives,
using modern implements, worked
eight months into the jungle with the
last white expedition. They made
only 40 miles, and never even saw
footprints of a pigmy.
So Stirling means to establish his
base along the coast, to take his all
metal, Liberty-motored, airplane
over the mountains and jungles, to
land in the swamps, photograph and
study the pimies and then fly back.
"The pigmies live in the stone
age" Stirling says. when they see
our plane they will be looking some
10000 years ahead of their race We
will be gods to them. We will strike
matches, smoke cigarets, shoot guns
click cameras-and then they, we

resume, will be awed and bow at
our feet.
'Or they r'nv see in us their de
vii, and try to kill us. Then we shall
throw tear-gas bombs at them and
they will temporarily go blind"
1t is all very simple to Professor
Stirling. But what if the airplane
crashes? He says they don't figure
on that. What if the pigmies over
power them? That's another story
With Stirling there are four men,
each an expert in his line Stanley
Hedberg is the historian, r. X. Peck
the photographer, H. H. Hoyte chief
pilot, S. f. Hammer chief mechanic,
and Stirling is the anthrOpologist,
The material they get on their dar-
ing trip will go to the Smithonian
Institute.
"Bu how about the head hunters

and cannibals on the coast?"
THE Dutch government is help
ing us with Them" Stirling replies
They have promised to give us a
military escort"
The party expects to fly into pig
my-land about March l, 1926-and
to fly out couple of days later if all
goes well. Frequent trips in will be
made until the pigmy will have be-
come something of fact instead of
guess and mystery.
