ONE Of the stransest tales In tn

ONE Of the stranssst tales in the
annals Of exploration on the New
World is that Of 0onnlo Guerrero,
Spanish navigator. who forsook his
race to become . Maya chief.
Guerrero was shipwrecked on the
dangerous shoals. Of Las Viboras,
south-southwest Of Jamaica, with de
Aguilar. one Of his shipmates. Cap
tlred by = Maya party, they were sold
into slavery and separated.
In 1919 Cortes heard Of the Chris
tian captives held inland De Aguilar
was freed, and set out to tell Guerrero
Of the turn Of events.
The man de Aguilar saw amazed
him. Guerrero had married . Maya
woman Of high rank and had three
children. His ears were pierced and
hung with heavy ear-plues. His face
was tattooed after the Maya fashion
and he wore the Maya costume.
His lower lip was pierced for q
labret and the sun had turned him
the color of the Maya themselves.
Fearing to return to his old civilisa-
ton. Guerrero refused to leave.

Dbl. Pass Pass Pass
The bidding must be noted with
great care. Vests Jump to four
hearts was obviously an attempt to
shut North out Of the bidding. East's
double Of four spades not only marked
him With almost all the outstanding
high cards. but indicated . probable
holding Of four trumps. Having
drawn these conclusions, We come to
the play: After losing the first heart
lead and tr,lmping the second, South's
one BEST bet to our mind II to lead
. small diamond to dummy;s queen.
II by some chance the king is wrong,
nothing is lost, but II, - appears
probable. East (the doubler) holds the
king, any return but . diamond will
allow declarer to make his contract
easily q fine player would return q
. diamond since he would know that
at this stage he holds more trumps
than declarer).
A second method Is to lead the eight
Of clubs and let it ride. East will win
with the jack and return . heart and
. second low club finesse will knock
out his ace. II declarer follows this
line Of attack, he will make his con-
tract. But he must realise that there
10 some danger Of one OF his oppo-
nents receiving q run.
The third and worst method was
the one adopted BY the actual de.
clarer. He trumped the second heart
with the spade jack, then led small
to dummy's nine. The queen Of dia-
monds was played through East and
the hand was now lost. Trying for .
diamond break, declarer played his
three tops. discarding dummy's last
heart. East ruffed and returned a
trump. Declarer now rufYed q dia-
mond. then drew trumps, but had to
concede the last three tricks to East's
ace-jack Of clubs and remaining heart.
