The Home of the Caraja. ^OWARDS evening we drew up about 150 yards from an Indian village, but finding that the igarite drew too much water to pull up close to the shore, I pointed to a high sandbank which could be seen lower down the river, with promise of deep water, and told my companions to leave me with the Indians and I would join them later on in an uba. So they paddled the canoe down the river, leaving me with five stalwart redskins, who conducted me over the stretch of sand to their li...ttle village. Their huts were small and of a lighter construction than usual, some having no roof, but only a palm leaf shelter against the wind. In one hut several women and children were seated and they invited me to sit down with them, which I was very pleased to do. One young woman brought me a piece of boiled fish in her hand, and another gave me a kind of yam, which I endeavoured to eat. The men were the usual fine, tall, and almost intellectual-looking Indians, with their lustrous and muscular bodies painted in the usual way.
