Text Appearing Before Image:
del Parú al Yary. No es posible andar el caminoá pié, porque las tierras bajas del Amazonas están surcadas por infinidad de corrientes: for-zoso es, pues, navegar, pero nuestras piraguas sin quillas no pueden resistir el embate de lasoleadas del Amazonas, que es un verdadero océano de agua dulce. Las canoas buenas estánde viaje, y sólo me queda una embarcación vieja que hace agua como una cesta. Pido al pa-trón que me conduzca al Yary, pero se niega, pretextando, y no sin razón, el mal estado desu barca. Me encojo de hombros, y sin hacer caso de sus objeciones, le contesto con un tonoque no admite réplica: —Que calafateen en seguida esa barca de cualquier modo; es menester que partamosesta noche con el reflujo. Arreglo mis cuentas con los indios apalais que me han acompañado hasta aquí: como hequedado muy satisfecho de sus servicios, les pago generosamente y les entrego una caja demachetes y de hachas para Olori y los indios que huyeron por temor á una batalla. liíli
Text Appearing After Image:
«i*Ss 230 AMÉRICA PINTORESCA ¡Cosa extraña! Apatú, que ha demostrado un arrojo á toda prueba en las cascadas, parecetener miedo á la dilatada superficie del Amazonas; y no ocupa su puesto en mi embarcaciónsino después de haber estado vacilando largo rato. Los negros de Surinam que han visto suindecisión, se sienten poseídos de un verdadero pánico y exclaman: — No partiremos; de ninguna manera. —Enhorabuena, les contesto; ya que no queréis acompañarnos, nos iremos sin vosotros. Les hago las tres intimaciones legales y levamos anclas. La canoa empezaba ya á bajar arrastrada por la corriente, cuando mis negros se decidená venir; regresamos á la orilla y se embarcan silenciosos. A las once, algunas luces nos anuncian que nos acercamos á la aldea de Almeirim. —Tengo ahí un hermano enfermo, me dice Apatú; permítame V. ir á visitarlo. Casualmente mi deseo es saltar en tierra, por lo cual voy á visitar al enfermo, y al mismotiempo compro azúcar, café y cachasa.
