On the Move Again
We shot the breeze until
about three o'clock, when
Smitty allowed we should be
getting on the move. He said
Tule would be waiting for us
near where the creek empties
into the ChagreS about a mile
downstream.
The afternoon walk was diff

the rocky creek bed, calf-deep
to knee-deep in water, or
Slogging through mud almost
as deep. Smitty pointed to a
footprint in the mud-a bare
foot almost as broad as it was
long. 1t was obviously made by
one of the Choco Indians who
live in the area, almost un-
touched by the civilization of
either the Spaniard or the
Yankee.
We turned a bend in Que
bracha Fea finally and saw the
Chagres in front of us. Almc-t
20 feet below its normal high
water mark, the Chagres was
still impressive, not deep but
fairly broad.
AS we neared Quebracha
Fea's mouth, the creek seemed
to make one desperate final
effort to prevent our escape.
To reach the Chagres we had
to cross a broad bank of soft
mud, slosh through water al
most hip deep, scale a 10-foot
vertical riVerbank, climb over
a fallen log and cross another
mudbank. Then we waded out
into the ChagreS itself.
Half way across the river a
Choco stood in a small dugout
canoe called a piragua. He had
symbolic designs painted on his
face and he wore pants-in

Saving Of $4,85O
"You know" Smitty said. "I
had a hell of a time getting
this cayuca for the school. The
Air Force wanted to buy me
a IS 900 motorboat, but it would
have been breaking down all
the time and people would have
been stealing stuff off it. I
finally talked them into letting
me get this native-built cayuce
It cost $780,"
Tule looked quizzically at me
as I got into the cayuca. He
was obviously wondering who

Smitty silently handed over
