Rebuked by an official, the golfer

The water along here races at terrific speed and rises in great white waves which are broken against the projecting rocks in the middle of the current. The noise of the water in like a surf in a storm along a rocky coast. From the shore one can see great depres- siens in the water where it is swirl ed down. and huge boiling mounds the power below"
 The only boatmen who have prov ed capable of successfully negotiat- ing such passages as this are Dyaks from the hills of Borneo. The Dutch expedition has TO Dyak boatmen. Dr. Stirling illus trates their capacities In the story of how Tomalinda, their chieftan, cleared ont a fallen tree which ob- structed passage in the river. 'Tomalinda walked out on the hori- .zontal limb with his parang (knife) and started cutting the hanging tree. When it severed, 1t, fell vir- tically, ,the water catching the branches and tearing it away. On the instant that 1t fell towards him, Tomalinda leaped. and catching small bough close to the trunk. hung by one arm beneath the large tree as the falling trunk narrowly missed him. Had he been knocked into the water. 1t would have meant certain death."
 With such expert and intrepid boatmen as these, the expedition has succeeded in establishing half dozen camps along the rivers, and in passing tons of supplies from camp to camp to the interior.
 Heavy, Ralns Severe Handicap
 The almost nightly rains, whic.+ send the expedition to bed in soak ing blankets occasionally maroons the camps for days at a time; the mosquitoes and other insect pests, the fever and blood sucking leeches exact heavy price for the pene- tration of the country's secrets, but do not Interpose fatal barrier. Un- friendly tribes of Papuans, however, present a more serious obstacle.
 It Is fortunate for the expedition that the Papuans are people of the stone age who know noting of metals, let alone of firearms. Their imple- ments are stone axes, their weapons bows and arrows and spears made of human bones. They will trade their seanty all for four cent knife or a fishhook. Speaking of one tribe near Batavia Camp, Dr. Stirling writes: "They learned the use of fishhooks watching the Dyaks. It was new idea to them, as here tofore the only method they knew was to shoot fish with arrows. It is tedious business"
 Their desire to trade for the white mems metal implement is so great as to render them comically frantic. We induced group of

the houses, but the villages had the appearance of being quite abandon ed. There was small rude plat form. made of four poles for sup ports and covered with sago leaves. From one corner of this hung a small net bag which contained the jaw bone of child. It is probable that it had been used as . burial platform. The houses all were sim- ply made, had platform floors of bark, about three feet off the ground. On this floor, at one side, was usually erected . secondary platform about five feet above the floor. On the floor were from one or two to six clay hearths covered with ashes. In one of the houses hanging from the rafters was a fine medicine bag" on which were hang ing human jaw. the crests of three cassowaries. and several heron peaks and pig tails."

Rounding a turn, they came upon a Papuan dugout canoe. tied to the shore. The Dyaks," writes Dr. Stirling. "all adjusted their shields by their sides so that they were in a convenient position and padded silently without touching the handles of the paddles to the sides of the conoe. We saw no one, however. but mile farther on we suddenly came upon two houses built on stilts on a little raised spot on the east bank. All

six Papuans to come near and held out some small trade articles. They became immensely excited and leap- ed around. eagerly tearing off all of their ornaments, net bags, etc., and handing over their bows and arrows, almost falling down in their eagerness to part with them. While so eager to trade that it was really pitiful to see them, they were at the same time keyed to the highest pitch of nervous tension. If one reached towards them to point out | belt or an article wanted, they would either jump away or stand 1 trembling like a leaf. When Stan- ley pointed at one in a canoe indi- eating the article he wanted, the Papuan immediately jumped over- board.
 Converse by Pantomime
 "They are great pantomimists and act out thoroughly the action they wish to explain. We asked by ! signs If they had seen our plane fly over. This immediately brought forth an exicted response and 1t was worth travelling many miles to see their imitation of the plane. Holding their arms extended hori- zontalTy they ran up and down in front of camp, with the most ex- cruciating facial grimaces and imi- tating the sound of the motor. This accomplished, they threw themselves flat on the ground on their bellies and burrowed their faces in the mud, presumably by way of illus trathg their own actions at the time"
 But the Papuans are not always so friendly. Several times they have attacked conveys of Dyaks on the river. In fact, during the night that succeeded the trading described above, messengers reached Dr. Stir ling from the Dutch sergeant at Head camp, reporting an attack on the camp by 100 Papuans, firing bows and arrows When Dr. Stirling and his party reached the Head Camp and visited the neighboring villages they found them hastily abandoned.
 Tn front of the principal struc- lures of one village" records pr. Stirling, twas set up the green bough of a tree about seven feet high with the leaves still fresh. Alongside it, a stone axe had been driven into the ground with the head up. It had then been hacked half in two in the middle of the handle and broken so that the stone head touched the ground. Anji Tpoei, the Dyak chief, was of the opinion that this signified a declara- tion of war. It seems to me also possible that 1t might symbolize the fact that they had stopped work at this village and gone down stream Gas the head of the axe pointed) and that the condition of the leaves on the branch would in- dicate how much time had elapsed since their departure. There were quite a number of things left in

 shields in front of them crept as silently as cats up to the houses. In
