The action ended doubt on the

but l clutched it. had just taken a
full breath with the intention of call
ing out, when the knob of rock broke
and began slipping again.
Now l thought it was all over. My
right leg was over the precipice to the
knee; my left was approaching the
knee; my hands were still clawing
about for something to take hold of
when my right foot dropped, and
struck solid earth! 1t won't do to say
my nerves were all shot. This is one of
those occasions in writing where words
are too tame.
There was little ledge just below
me on the edge of the rock. a ledge no
wider than foot. Beyond that there
was drop of hundred feet to the
river. as l saw when I lighted my
candle.
But did not light the candle imme-
diately. No burst into tears like
baby. The shock was too much. l
could not crawl back, and had to sit
there until my two native workmen
came and threw me a rope.
To my dying day shall never for
get the tremendous shock I received
when my foot struck that solid little
ledge. 1t was almost harder on. the
nerves than falling the whole distance
would have been.
Thus, my two narrowest escapes
were not from snakes or wild animals
or Indians, but from inanimate OBJ
jects - dead tree and the rocks of a
cave. And both the accidents involved
were entirely my own fault.

You never can TELL" he said and
we promised we would not take any
thing out of the temples" We had
made this promise to General May,
chief of these Indians.
Spinden was right. Several months
later General May told us that we
had been watched all the time that
our flashlights were probing the murk
of that temple, and that our conduct
in not removing the calabash vessels
had been noted in our favor. Some
Indian had been watching us through
a chink in the wall!
Generally speaking, bugs are far
worse than snakes or Indians. In the
first place, the chief danger to expedi-
tions in the American tropics is that
curse. malaria. and malaria of course,
is carried by mosquitoes. Then there
are ticks, ranging in size from the
large tick to the small red bug so tiny
that you can hardly see it. No clothing
has ever been devised which will keep
them out, and no lotion which will
prevent their biting. A bite burns for
about two weeks, and when man has
enough tick bites he is unable to sleep.
Literally. men have been driven crazy
by the torture of tick bites.

close call than the escape from the
falling tree, was far more trying to my
nerves. We had discovered three large

largest of the three caves with two of
my native laborers. We had found this
cavern the day before and nicknamed

hill. A large knob on the tree struck
just where my head had been, making
hole in the canvas support for the
mosquito net over me, and in the
hammock itself This same knob raised
the rest of the tree little, so that
instead of breaking my left leg -
which remained in the hammock - it
only bruised it. All in all, that came
under the heading of what you might
call luck
For the next three or four months |
enjoyed life extremely, rejecting that
it was just by chance that was alive
at all.
1t would have been my own fault if
that tree had killed me; but it is no
ones fault if. when you are in the
thick jungle in hurricane, a tree
crushes the life out of you. That is
constant danger in high wind.
Probably in the imagination of the
average layman, the greatest danger
of the jungle is snakes; but the fact is,
the explorer seldom sees snake,
and then it is usually harmless
variety. The serpent is just as anxious
to keep out of your way as you are to
keep out of his.
Ninety per cent of snake bites occur
in the hand, foot, or lower leg. If the
traveller wears knee boots and is care
full about putting his hands down on
dead trees and rocks he is very safe.
(The poisonous snake has not yet
grown in America which is strong
enough to bite through a tough leather
boot II, in addition, he carries a sup
ply of snake serum, there is small
chance of his meeting his demise by
snake bite.
Hostile natives run a close second to
snakes as dangers of the jungle, in the
mind Of the man who has never been
there. The truth is that hostile natives
are far less dangerous than taxicabs
in New York. Generally speaking, a
wild Indian treats you as you treat
him; but you cannot count on such
reliability in motor vehicle.
When in search of what proved to
be our seventh new species of bird, the
