Another five hours we arrived at a small brook where another of Faw- cett’s camps had been. We didn't stop, but proceeded on_ through the brittle wilderness, dead leaves crackling un- der us and trees that looked dead an ‘withered. When I noted the extraordinary dry ness of the forest, I realized that Faw- cett's marches had been so short i ssemed that Aloique’s statement abouf his dying of thirst was not only po: ble, but quite probable. ‘Warns of Jungle Dangers. Oh, stranger from the North, be care- | ful how you tread these jungle paths. Don't jump rashly onto fallen logs for fear you rouse the fury of a horde of ants that have made their home in the rotting timber.. Don‘t grab too roughly at some dangling vine, lest you pull the roof of the forest down upon your thin skull. Choose your step wisely and shun the harmless stick.

There must be no shuf- fling of weary feet, or else the invisible net will catch you and fling you to the ground. ‘We arrived in the village of the Kala- lo's at 3 p.m., tired after our pro- onged exertions.

Each present meant something in return, and our small ks con- tained a very limited supply of such things. We found the Kalapalos identical in every respect to the Anauquas, except that they had words in their vocabulary peculiar to themselves. In spite of such differences, both groups seemed to un- der ther perfectly. Their t in a similar fashion, | this village was double the| of the one we had just left. It aincd about 14 houses.

Evidently the women in these tribes hold an entirely different posi- tion than they do in most others found in the Amazon country, where men have most of the say.

We had practically no presents left to give away, having disposed of our supply before leaving the malocas of the Anauquas. We tried vainly to establish credit by explaining that we had a good bank account at our own camp where the Kuluene and the Kulu- seu joined. If only we coculd get there ve would pay handsomely those who helped us to the extent of giving them knives and axes. We had already dis- tributed a few small knives and fish- hooks to the head men of the village, but these did not represent sufficient advance payment to cover the risk involved. (Copyright. 1929.
