the Indians, got them to take him
inland and show him their trail to the
top of the mountain range. Then.
leaving the Indians, he went into the
jungle again to explore the range.
This last venture was the most
wearing of his whole expedition. For
three days he pushed his way along
the ridges with only a few sardines
and little rice for nourishment. But
the worst part of it was the rain -
rain that poured down as only tropic
rain can, and kept him drenched day
and night. 1t was impossible to start a
fire. His fingernails turned blue and
his whole body shook. BY the time he
got out of the Jungle he had lost
fifteen pounds - he weighed only a
hundred and ten in the beginning
Even after he got out of the jungle,
though, his journey was not ended.
The Indians took him to an outpost
Panamanian town; and to reach
Acandi, Colombia. where he hoped to
get passage home, he had to take a
perilous night voyage in flimsy and
overcrowded little sailboat.
"All in ALL" he wrote in his note
book, as he was at last sailing home
again. 1T has been an experience that
one should not allow himself to be
subjected to second time"

this summer, asked him about that
seemingly sensible conclusion. He

and instead Of making for the coast,
I'll head for the Chucunaque River
and try to follow it through the in

village of VIA. That's the place was
particularly warned to keep away
from; the other Indians refused to
take me there. But I'm sure that if l
just walk in. they'll accept me. It'll
be easy enough"
Easy enough! Well, perhaps it
would seem easy to young man who,
with no knowledge of the Indian
language. thinks nothing of hopping
off alone into the Panama jungle.
1t was on July 6 of last year that
Tewkesbury left Balboa for Chepo, the
last outpost of vehicular travel. In his

the doors. Naked children with black
streaks painted down their foreheads
tagged curiously after him.
Tewkesbury bowed to the brave,
and inquired: ''Fernandus?" That,
he had been told. was the name of the
village chief. The Indian called several
other braves, one of whom knew a few
words of English. Fernandus, it de-
veloped, was away fishing; but an
acting chief came, with more braves.
Was the white man seeking gold?
Tewkesbury assured them he was not.
"And after that" he told me, they
we're as friendly as anybody could ask.
They put me up in the chiefs house.

Always Good Hosts
i HAT was the beginning and for a
month Tewkesbury lived in Indian
villages. where he found his hosts al
ways responsive to a deferential,
friendly approach. Often he had no
way of conversing with them except
by sign language. but that suficed.
They always wanted to be sure he
was not looking for gold. He ate
boiled bananas and mangoes with
them, and drank the cocoa soup that
seemed to be their main item of fare.
From Pintupu he went with two
Indians in cayuca (for five dollars
up the Bayano to the village of Piria.
1t was the Piria Indians who finally
left him alone on the way to the sup
posedly hostile village of VIA.
After he had made his remarkable
trek to the coast. he visited several of
the coastal Indian villages. He saw
and made friends with a number of

told. He sailed down the coast with

SOY BEANS
ARE SWELL

The Tugboat Annie company has
been working with real vessels
lately, the story problem being how
to refloat freighter which is sup
posed to have gone on a sandbar
Two tugs have been hired for
Annie and her rival, Captain Bull
Wrinkle, and large Danish motor
ship plays the stricken cargo ship.
The Danish captain is in a vile
humor and is being treated like a
temperamental star. His ship is
idle in the harbor as a result of
Germany's conquest, and the hold
is full of thousands of tons of soy
beans which have got a little damp
and are beginning to swell. The
swelling is springing the freigher's
plates, thus admitting more water
to produce more swelling. :.
One of these days it's going to
crack open and sink, and not even
Annie Brennan can do anything
about it.

is suspicious for workers although

Business Affairs: Prosperity will
