The Suyas are a repulsive tribe to meet. There is no mistaking them, because they insert large circular blocks of wood in the lower lip and pierce the lobe of the ear with sticks. Instead of cutting their hair in a neat bob after the manner of the Anauquas, they let it grow long and shaggy. An interesting diversion interrupted further conversation, Rapatzi, one of | Aloique’s unmarried sons, along with | one of Cabazala's boys, appeared in the doorway with a pair of huge wooden horns, which were used in ceremonial | dances. |, _Upon these they made the most ex- traordinary noise ever heard by man, They waved the instruments up and down while they blew, stamping their feet in perfect unison. They were dressed in fantastic feather ornaments. Suddenly they made a dash outside the house, closely followed by a girl hold- ing Rapatzi’s shoulder with her left hand. Off then went across the open space and disappeared in the house opposite, | Music Never Ceases. The music, which was suggestive of the droning of bagpipes, continued, and in a few minutes out they came again, passing on to another house, until each had been visited in turn by the three. During the entire performance the music never ceased and the most per- fect time was maintained. The sig- | nificance of the proceeding was beyond | me, unless it portended the coming | marriage of the girl with one of the boys. When it was all over the older men collected out of doors and indulged in a dance of their own. They formed into line and, stamping their feet, slowly pivoted round in a circle, singing as they did so. In the evening a more elaborate affair was staged inside the houses. The dancers visited each house in suc- cession, - sometimes making two or three visits. The horns were used | again, and while the men formed into two lines lengthwise to the house the women were drawn up in two rows at right angles to the men. The latter held their hands outstretched and stamped their feet; the women rested one arm on the shoulder of their ad- jacent companion and swung one foot back and forth in time to the music. When all the dancing was over the | two doors of the house in which I was | sleeping were closed and every one re- | tired to hammocks. There were some Y | 80 people in Cabazala’s establishment, | i 5 it main body. What could be easier than to dispose of us while' we were hope- lessly outnumbered and then turn on my companions? This was a matter of* genuine concern. Furthermore, we had given away our presents and only a few remained to dispose of in an emer- gency. There was a chance that no one would go with us and we would be ma- rooned In this out-of-the-way spot, unable to join our main party. | With feelings of relief we heard of | | other Indians desiring to go with us.| Three men from the Kalapalo tribe were visiting Cabazala for a few days The result was an appreciable increase in speed. z mowed directly behind the Anau- qua chief. Little conversation ensued. I was too busy watching my step and carrying my rifle to exchange remarks with Joao Climaco, Aloique surprised me by abruptly turning around and indicating that he | would relieve me of some of my load to the extent of my rifle. Without further thought I handed it to him, glad to be less encumbered. I had hardly done so before I realized the mistake, Progress was reported yesterday in the government’s campaign, both peaceful and warlike, against insurgents in the States of the latter state Ladislao Molina and 80 followers surrendered and were given safe conducts to their homes.

Our route apparently coincided with theirs and it was an easy way for them to earn a good knife | by accompanying us that far. | Carry Considerable Cargo. | At 7 oclock our party, consisting of Joao Climace, the Baik: boy and yself, started. We were accompanied | by Aloique, Rapatzi and three Kalapala Indians. Each of us carried consider- | able cargo, the Indians shouldering less than we did. For two hours we| traversed a muddy stretch of country. Bog land extended to the right and left. | Apparently the trail was leading us into | the very heart of a tremendous swamp. It ended abruptly on a solitary patch | of dry ground with water on all sides | except the one we had come by. To our surprise we found 60 or 70 Indians, men and women, sitting on the ground. Aloique told us that they were on the way to the malocas of the Mantizula Indians, but we were at a loss to under- stand why every one had come to a | dead stop in a place from which there S no exit. | We were not left long in suspense. Several very rickety canoes were pro- | duced. We clagibered in and paddled off through narrow channels of deep water. | ! It was a most treacherous looking place. To upset in these dark pools would not have been a pleasant ex- perience. Man-eating fish, snakes, crocodiles, etc.; it looked like an ideal | place for them to live. Twenty min- utes later we were once more on terra firma striking across open grassy | country that bordered on the swamp. | Meet Indian Traveling Alone. | _We encountered a solitary Anauqua | Indian traveling by himself.” Aloique at once roped him in to help us and gave | | him his load to shoulder. I was sur- | | prised to note how reluctant the men | | were to carry anything. It is a woman's | | task and the male sex make a terrible fuss over the smallest bundle. They | won't sling it on their backs the way the women do, but prefer to rest it un- comfortably on the shoulder and steady it with one hand, this being a more manly method. Aloique was a heavy-set fellow and should have been capable of carrying a house. Yet his grunts and groans under a 30-pound parcel were childlike. The new Indian, Matuala by name, took Aloique’s load cheerfully and handed his bow and arrows to Aloique to carry. it back. edge of a swamp. | the tall grass and we | heaven knows where.

Families Stay in Groups. | | Each family group kept by itself, | their hammocks being slung together, | two or three people sometimes occupy- | ing a single one. In many instances ! hammocks would be slung immediately | over each other two or three tiers at a time. A married man generally occu: pied a hammock all to himself. It would be suspended fairly high off the | ground. Immediately below him his | wife wculd sling hers, sharing it with the smaller children. The only privacy | afforded was by means of large paim- | leaf curtains that could be hung up or | taken down as desired. As a general | rule these were not used. | Each group had a fire to #tself which was kept burning through the night. Sometimes the=» would be two | or three. It is very coid all through | this country as soon :5 the sun goes down, and it was for tais reason the Indians were so eager to get clothes. | A single blanket was hardly sufficient to keep me warm so I was not surpris- | ed to see the naked Indians getting up | continually to warm their shivering | bones by the fire. | . At 4 o'clock I awake from my slum- | bers cold and stiff on the hard floor of | the maloca. The flickering flame of | the small fire shed feeble light and gave | forth feeble heat. No one stirred. The | festivities of the night before had proved too much and I was fearful that our plans might miscarry in conse- quence. Cabazala lay in his hammock like a dead pig and his son who was to be of our party never stirred an eye- . We soon grasped the fact that many minds had been changed about coming. We began to wonder how we would ever get away. Not Exactly Friendly. Although these Indians are what one might call friendly Indians, that is only a relative term. If it suited their pur- pose they would not hesitate to massa- cre my entire party. Nor would such a task be difficult. To accomplish this | they would only have to follow the well established military formula of split- ting up the enemy and defeating him in detail. !
