JUNGLE UNFOLDS FOR TOURISTS Air Travelers Visit Cayenne, Then Hop Off for Para

Thu is th* j>cnnd article in C B All'n * account of his 25.000-mil- fl:eht on th* Pan-American Line round South America Todav he describes his trio from Cavenne. French Guiana, to Para. Brazil. By C. B. ALI EN, Times Special W riter A STRANGE thing happened in the very strange country of French Guiana, our first important stop after leaving Puerto Rico. We are just outside Cayenne, the capital, to refuel before veering southward for Para. But a nasty ground swell balks our two-mile attempt to take off from the Cayenne river. Pilot Carl Dew'ey curses. “It’s all jungle from here to Para,” he snorts. “And it's no place to be caught at night in bad weather with the wind against us.” The co-pilot, Roy Keeler, splashes out an anchor. Dewey

scribbles a report for Pan-Amer-ican operations headquarters in Miami, 2,800 miles and three-and-a-half days away. Through Georgetown, British Guiana, and San Juan, Puerto Risco, ground stations, the message sparks. “Yeah, and better tell ’em to send a boat after us while you’re at it,” he adds to the wireless operator. When I look dumb he explains. Since the French won't permit foreign firms to have transmitting radio stations here, the only way to be sure that Cayenne, three miles away, is hearing us is to communicate with Miami, 2,800 miles away, which in turn will cable Cayenne. Well, sure enough, before long a motorboat put-put-puts up the river from the city, and all except a guard piles in, taking a small amount of baggage for the night. This night we are to spend in a convent, the Maison hospitaliere St. Paul, which offers the only first-class accommodations for travelers in Cayenne. s< a CAYENNE, you know is a clearing house for the penal colonies on Devil's Island, He Royale and lie St. Joseph, and so the customs officials scrutinize us and our baggage. The city is filled with convicts, and it’s particularly revolting to travelers to watch Senegalese soldiers, who garrison the city, toss bones to aged white convicts who have been “freed,” but doomed to exile. These tottering wrecks claw and fight like dogs over refuse, while the half-civil-ized black men roar with laughter. We have a particularly fine brand of champagne for dinner, properly iced by the nuns. Then we attend a sort of hoochi-koochi, participated in by negroes and half-caste whites. IT'S a reckless rhythm the native jazz band supplies, one instrument sounding like a can filled with nails. The men wear hats, and sway and writhe. The women, some dressed in European attire, others in picturesque billowing skirts, weave without lifting their feet. Jungle overtones throb through the music like the beat of distant drums. It is 10 o'clock. It will continue till 5 a. m. Maybe we'd better to bed. And as I slip into the clean, cool bed prepared by the devout sister, I recall the events since we took off from San Juan. The twin-engined Commodores used exclusively on this run are commodious compared to passenger planes elsewhere in the world. Only the ultra de luxe “clippers" dwarf them. ts tt a PICTURES of the flight southward dance before my mind as I stare into the dark.

zuela and British Guiana to Georgetown, capital and chief port of the colony, for our overnight halt. Up again at 3:30 for a 5 o’clock takeoff and on with an intermediate stop at Paramaribo in Dutch Guiana before our adventures in Cayenne. Cayenne ... a deep, heavy sleep . . . but it seems scarcely a few moments before we are dressed again and soaring out over the Brazilian jungles for the fifth day out from Miami. We are flying 617 miles nonstop to Para. We are a day behind schedule, because of the forced stop at Cayenne. There are only three or four passengers besides myself, but the seats are piled high w'ith mail and express. a u a PILOT Dewey drops parcels containing cookies, candy, trinklets. They are for the natives, because he never knows when a forced landing might throw him face to face with these black men in the palm villages. And he wants to be friendly. He shows me Lake Montenegro on his chart, several miles inland, where planes used to refuel, and it was by dropping knick-knacks in this way that the natives were made friendly. At first they fled from the “thunder bird,” but soon they lingered excitedly to see what new; treats were to be dropped. Shortly Pan-American sent a base manager there to organize the primitive facilities and native labor supply at his disposal. One day there came to the air line's Miami office a request marked “Urgent.” It said:—“Please send twenty uniform caps, all sizes, on next plane.” Though mystified, they sent the caps.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

reason for the query? Well, it developed that the natives had fallen in love with the base manager’s cap, and he wanted a collection of them to parcel out as badges of merit. At Lake Montenegro they became a reward for obedient and faithful service during the preceding week, and only natives with caps were permitted to approach the plane. Except for shark's tooth necklaces, it was their only adornment. an tt THIS part of the Brazilian coast we’re flying over has its wild and lonely but picturesque sketches. Along the shore we seewater whipped into ripples as thousands of weird, four-eyed fish, which lie in the mud shallows with two stalk-like optics reared, periscope fashion, above the surface, take fright at our approach. Hundreds of birds gorgeous ibises, flamingoes, snowy herons, ungainly bos’n birds—rise panicstricken in front of us. Directly in our path a bos’n bird struggles to rise above our level of flight. Unexpectedly he soars out of the way, and drops two good-sized fish past the Commodore's nose. As if inspired by this event, Pilot Dewey invites us to join him in a picnic lunch. This is a godsend, for we have had our fill of the indifferent sandwiches that are the best Pan-American can procure along the upper east coast. We feast, a portable table before us, on cold baked beans, potted ham, crackers, peanut butter, cookies and preserved figs. Even as we are nibbling, we sight Marajo Island, a delta plug in the Amazon’s mouth, the only thing that prevents this stream from cutting a 200-mile gap in the coast on its way to the Atlantic. Many thousands of acres on this island are given over to raising cattle, which are swum across a branch of the Para river to get them to the city. And farmers count on losing four or five out of every herd to the savage flesheating fish (a varity of caribe) that infest the waters. tt a a EQUIPPED with razor-edged teeth, these fish literally strip the bones of whatever creature, human or otherwise, that happens into the water. So the farmers upstream, from the

chosen fording place, drive in several scrawny cattle to attract the tiger fish, which rush in fiendishly to kill them. While the ghastly feast is at its height the main body of the herd is driven across the stream at a discreet distance. The men? Oh, they do their cow-punching in boats. We have been flying through one rain squall after another since leaving Cayenne. Sometimes it took us three-quarters of an hour to pass through. It is still dripping when we sight Para, rubber center which once boasted a quarter million inhabitants. But prosperity and population have waned with the slump in rubber. Now, from our lofty seats, we see not only red-tiled roofs,* close packed as New York’s east side tenements, but the tangled expanse of the jungle, out of which the city was carved. It presses in greedily on every side to reclaim ground lost in the never-ending struggle between man and the forces of nature. We miss a visit to Para's famous zoological gardens because of the plaguey rain. Instead we tour the waterfront, a maze of fishing craft, packed gunwale to gunwale like sardines in a tin. Dewey and Keeler are with me. This is a farewell jaunt and dinner—our last evening together. They turn northward in the morning. Robert J. Nixon and Thomas James at the controls will take me south. Dawn, and the wings of another Commodore will take me on to Rio. Next—Para to Rio. POLICE CAR DAMAGED Suspected Driver Held as Drunk After Collision. John Mulvehill, 24, of 1345 Blaine avenue, alleged hit and run driver whose automobile is believed to have been the one which damaged a police car Sunday night in the 2300 block. West Morris street, faces charges of drunken driving and failure to stop after an accident. No one was injured in the crash. A fender and a headlight of the police car were damaged.

LEGAL BEER FLAILED BY BILLY SUNDAY Predicts Return of Saloon to United States. Bu I'nitcd Prrsg WARSAW, Ind.. April 17—Criticising the return of beer and predicting the eighteenth amendment will be retained, William H. <Billy) Sunday, the evangelist, has come back to his summer home at Winona Lake to recuperate.
