droves of hundreds, sometimes thousands; then, 
let them alone if you are alone. 
“The victim of the adventure I alluded to was 
a young man who was sent out to Brazil by a 
firm in the States, ornamental lumber dealers, 
who wished to purchase a suitable tract near the 
Amazon River and set up a sawmill. A bright 
fellow, but no woodsman. 
“The nearest neighbor of Capt. Valdez, with 
whom we were both stopping, was some six 
miles by the circuitous road, but there had been 
several young people at’ both houses a few years 
previously and much visiting back and forth; so 
a straight bridle path—every one rides horse¬ 
back there—had been cut over an intervening 
hill. 
“But marriage and removal had changed 
things, and the path was neglected, though easily 
followed yet, through the dense heavy timber. 
One morning a party of us, five in number, 
started' to make a call, all on foot except the 
young man, Morris. His city shoes made so 
long a walk difficult and Capt. Valdez lent him 
a horse to ride, cautioning him against getting 
far ahead of the others. 
“But the hill was steep, and we walked slowly, 
and in half an hour he was out of sight and hear¬ 
ing After plodding along for a while we were 
startled by the report of a gun, followed shortly 
by another shot, far ahead of us. 
“We had gone perhaps half a mile when we 
began to hear the smothered pop of a revolver, 
fired at intervals of a few seconds. About the 
same time we became aware of a distant mur¬ 
muring, or roaring, not unlike an approaching 
storm; a moment later this was punctuated with 
shrill squeals and yelps. 
“Captain halted us. saying, ‘There is trouble 
ahead, and we shall be in it, too, if we are not 
careful. Morris has fallen in with a big drove 
of peccaries.’ Then he gave us his plan for a 
rescue. 
“We were silently to approach as close to 
the rear of the drove as possible without attract¬ 
ing their notice. If Morris was not safely out 
of their reach we must rush in and take our 
chances with him. 
“If he was, we were to scatter a few yards 
apart. When as near as we could get, unnoticed, 
each was to find a tree he could quickly get into, 
if we failed to stampede them and were attacked. 
Then at the Captain’s signal all were to begin 
to shoot, shout and make all the noise we could 
as we dashed forward. If the rear ones took 
fright and ran, we could trust them to stampede 
the lot, for panic is contagious with peccaries 
as with sheep. 
“When we came in sight Morris was seated 
astride a limb of a low branched tree so near 
the ground that he had to keep his feet drawn 
up to get them out of reach of the leaping and 
snarling little fiends beneath, and we could see 
the blood trickling from one torn shoe. Half a 
dozen or more victims of his small revolver lay 
piled below him and were utilized by their com¬ 
rades for a footing to get a little nearer their 
victim 
“For the space of at least one-fourth of an 
acre the ground below him was covered with a 
sea of jumping, squealing, bristling, white-lipped 
peccaries, with only one object in life, and it 
was only a question of time when they would 
[ attain it. Fortunately for all concerned the 
• Captain’s strategy succeeded. 
“As we burst from our cover, making a noise 
by every means at our command, the nearer 
animals, who had not yet seen us, took fright 
and rushed in on the others, adding their danger 
cries to our unearthly hubbub. There was an 
instant’s hush, then the entire herd, and there 
must have been more than a thousand, tore off 
through the woods and were soon out of our 
hearing. 
“When we came up to Morris he almost fell 
into our arms, faint from fright and loss of 
blood. As he had been riding carelessly along a 
straggler from the drove had jumped out from 
almost under his horse’s feet and with a sharp 
‘woof-woof’ dashed away. 
“The horse had sprung sidewise and thrown 
him and galloped off. Morris was not hurt by 
the fall, but when he rose to his feet he saw
