potent cast which appreciates the
value Of words. both in meaning and
emphasis, makes interference" Par

ton, bv many literal or actual miles,
the most effectively conceived talk

Founder In Water.
In one place we floundered about In
the racing waters like SO many wal
ruses for five days In succession; the
narrow channel spread itself out spar
ingly over q wide expanse of rocks We
were obliged to get out and walk. lead
ing our canoes, pulling them here
showing them there, avoiding Jagged
lodges and sometimes carrying the heavy
cargoes on our tired shoulders.
In this manner we laboriously made
our way down the center of the river
stumbling over countless distractions
and hauling gigantic slabs of stone out
Of the way IN order that the canoes
might pass.
The river took its toll of our food
supply. Canoes were upset and cargoes
precipitated into the water, never to be
recovered. In order to make up for oul
losses we had to turn our hand to fish
ing. Results were entirely satisfactory
Many were the banquets we enjoyed in
consequence. On account of high tenn
peratures we were obliged to eat our
fish within few hours of being caught
Even with the old reliable standby OF
rice and beans we had to exercise the
greatest care. If either of them got
damp they would ferment and become
useless.
There was one aspect of the river
which we found particularly tantalizing
In several places it ran in tranquil
reaches. suggesting that all our troubles
had come to an end, but we soon learned
to dread these. 1t was generally case
late a fringe of ugly rocks would loom
up ahead of us like row of black
teeth thrust skyward Into the jaws
of these we would navigate, picking our
course with the greatest care Then
at the psychological moment, splash!-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-31

we would again plunge into the foam
Ing mass up to our eyelids.
In our efforts to direct the canoes we
would slip on the polished boulders, be
thrown painfully against sharp corners
by the force Of the current and gen.
orally banged about until our whole
bodies were bruised and cut unmerci-
fully.
Between and 5 o'clock In the after
noon we would crawl out on the bank
like family of water rats. make camp
for the night and rest up for the NOR
row.
From information given us by our
Baikari Indians we exnected to reach
the zone inhabited by the Anauquas in
about 6 days of easy river travel.
Actually it took us 81 days of the most
persistent toll. The distance was rela-
lively short. barely 60 miles in a straight
line, yet the innumerable loops and
wriggles which the river described al
most trebled that distance.
My companions expected to find a
group of Indian huts lining the bank.
But they were surprised when 'Ber-
nadine, the Baikari guide, indicated q
spot to land identical in every respect
to miles and miles of scenery which
we had been gazing upon since the
day we embarked Not single hut,
not even clearing, was there to sug-
geSt inhabitants.
We beached the canoes on a thin
strip of sand and climbed the steep
bank to where we found Joao Climaco
already established In the forest He
had arrived the day ahead of us and
had everything in readiness for our
occupation.
A number of Indians, Joao told us,
had already visited the place. He had
given them presents. They had spread
the news abroad and in consequence
others had collected and slung their
hammocks among the trees close at
hand, where they were making them
