Surrounded by predatory Kamaiulas in our camp on the sandbar at the eonfluence of the Kuluseu and Kuluene Rivers, I determined on the only course left to us if we valued our lives. At 5 o'clock, as the sun began to sink and the storm center gathered on our sandbar, I called that throgg of indig- nant savages together. “Kamaiuls, Caraiba, wow wow wow,” tdd I, pointing to the beach. In other “Let the Kamaiula and the white man wk things over.” They all col- lected at the water’s edge. Addressing myself to Jacuma, I asked him to point out all the head men of his company. With a fine, sweeping gesture of the arm he indicated that all were men of importance, and I must admit they were a fine-looking lot. The idea that head men received presents had taken hold among the In- dians, s0 now every one claimed to be a head man, no matter what his position in the tribe might be. In despair, I gave up all hope of making a deal with these people. One outlet only remained. ‘Went Through Act. Slowly and painfully I went through a little act that I had thought out in advance. Over and over again I re- peated it, uttering only an occasional word to emphasize my meaning, I pointed wearily to all the Indians grouped around about me and then to the tranquil forest as if to say, “You are all tired, go and sleep.” Then I lay down on the sand as if exhausted and closed my eyes. For a few seconds I snored as if in profound slumber. Open- ing my eyes again, I pointed to the east where the sun would rise next day, saying, “Itl,” which means sun. 1 then got up briskly, stooped over an empty packing case in which I had put a knife, opened the lid, and went through the motions of extricating knives and handing them out to the multitude. As a grand finale I got into & canoe and pointed down stream saying “tuna,” 'hh:h is the Indian word for house, at the same time I again doled out imagi- nary gifts. All of this meant that we were very tired and would first g6 to sleep. At daybreak when we felt re- freshed I would open up some boxes and give substantial presents to all, after which I would go down river to the malocas of the Kamalulas and give away more presents, returning that same day up the Kuluene. My pantomime was fully understood. Tonight the weary would sleep. To- morrow Santa Chul would distribute of his bounty. So the meeting broke up to the satisfaction of all, especially ything you want without being afraid of | - the consequences. Pape SDIAP EPSIN John P.

This was to be our hour of action. At midnight my entire party were up and doing. Coffee was served and then like the ants of the forest we started on the baggage. In absolute silence it was carried to the river and carefully put on board the canoes. Then the tent was folded up and by 1 o'clock all was ready. Not a thing was left behind on that sandbar, not ever a piece of paper. So long as smooth ‘vater lay ahead of us we could run fuliy loaded without much risk of danger. I didn't want to give the Indians the satisfaction of finding so much as a stick that would suggest a hurried retreat on our part. Glide to Freedom. Stealthily we pushed off from the sandy beach and slid gently into the rapidly moving stream of silver water. I thought the moon would prove our undoing, but the river was too wide and rambling to allow of our being detected: At 30 yards I could barely distinguish the outline of the canoe behind me. At 50 yards only a vague shadow was vis- ible. How little the Indians could see of us from their camps more than 150 yards away can well be imagined. The light was just sufficlent for us o steer by. Our five canoes like black phantoms of the night glided to free- dom down that winding course of the Kuluene River. For 15 minutes we hardly dared breathe. In the still night air the slightest sound will carry over water for a surprising distance. After covering half a mile or so pad- dles were produced, but we plied them cautiously. Without so much as a gur- gle we pressed them against the dark water and never withdrew them less the sound would betray us. In half an hour we were well out of earshot. Like galley slaves we dug our blades deep in the water and with long sweeping strokes sent our craft bound- ing ahead. Bend after bend in the rlver was left behind. Around sandbars we skirted; through narrow channels we shot, and the gap between us and the Indians grew steadily wider. Soon the darkness began to lift; daylight grew and as the sun climbed heaven- wards we still pushed ahead without rest or pause. Middav came and went. One o'clock, 2 o'clocs. passed and our five canoes continued to race forward. After 14 hours of unremitting toil we sought a camping place for the night. An ideal situation was found in & small lagoon connected to the river by the narrowest of openings, Through this gap we paddled and beached our heavily loaded canoes on a soft sandy bank within, We were completely hid- den.
