HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1959-06-11, Page 7Pulled Out Beard To Salve Skin Alfonso Vinci, Si/nth American explorer, was resting In his ham - welt ,by the amp fire when he saw shadowy ' forms stealing among the trees in the half-light' of dusk. The next moment he was gat- ingat thered point of an arrow trained on him, Then all hell brake loose. It was as if a dozen dogs had been trodden on in their sleep and were howling with rage and pain. Above the pandemon• lam could be heard one strident Voice: Solituan, their Indian guide -interpreter, trying to es- tablish friendly relations, with the savage raiders. With a comrade, Enrico, and native guides, Vinci had gene- }rated the unknown country of the Samatari, the most primitive Shirian tribe . of the Guiana - Amazon wilds. The..ng'ly brute behind the ar- row was on top .of him in no time, tearing off his shirt, grab- bing his trousers and shoes. His body was daubed with a whitish mud as if he'd been covered in blanco. Vinci dropped down from his hammock and stood, naked, at his mercy, Enrico and the others were naked, too, and helpless There were twelve attackers, all howling and waving the plun- dered clothes and red loin -cloths and brandishing their bows and arrows. The native guides were howl- ing and cursing, too, trying to convince the raiders of their friendly intentions, slipping in an occasional threat lest their friendly overtures be rejected. As the night wore on and things canned- down, these Sa- matari, with their bloodshot eyes, were torn between their bows and arrows and their plunder, between merriment and ferocity, between friendship • and hatred for the strange crew they had met on their hunting ;;xpedition. "They had something of the look of a man coming out of a fit after foaming at the mouth," Vinci says in "Red Cloth and Green Forest," a bizarre account of his expeditions in the region. "Their attention may have been drawn to us by the smell of smoke, to which Indians are Acutely sensitive; more probably the sound of a stray .shot had reached their ears. Unless our reading of events. was mistaken, these twelve dev- ils had been moved more by cu- pidity and fear than by down- right savagery." All the next day the captives were marched through the jun- gle without food or rest. About noon the following day, amid warning howlsand answering howls, they came to the tribal encampment in a clearing. Ape -men swarmed down from the trees and ran towards the camp centre, crowding there in a wild tumult. Behind came the women, carrying supplies of ar- rows and out -howling the men. Vinci and his party were sur- rounded by a mass of shrieking dirty humanity that leapt on them from all sides. His trousers, which had been returned to him for the march, were again .strip- ped off him. He was handled as if he were "a fish that was trying to dart away," the principal at- traction for them being his beard and the hairs on his chest. Those in front stripped off tufts of it, exhibiting it in triumph to those behind, sometimes passing it back and then grabbing more. One, taller than the rest, brought his face close to Vinci's, to get the feel of it better. Then began the process of rubbing faces. Each face was rubbed against his in what seemed "some gro- tesque dance where my partner was continually changing and which went on for hours in the midst of a general uproar, till in the end I all but fainted away TRICKY TREAT -' Myra Perkins, left, and Muriel Davis will be among the first women ever 10 perform in competition on the parallel bars during interna- tional Pan.American- games, with weariness, hunger, and the animal stench that enveloped me, Enrico was -undergoing the same treatment somewhere else" Sonie would hurl themselves at him and, with.an angry snarl, grab his beard as if to strangle him with it or tear it off, skin" and all, Vinci's original captor, the one with the whitened skin, began measuring , his features against Vinci's, spanning both with thumb and finger, as if to make sure that the beard would et. It was terrifying, for Vinci had heard from another tribe that when these Indians got hold of a bearded man they removed the. beard, flesh and all, dried it out and stuck it on their own faces like a mask, to appear in the guise of a white man, Faced with the threat of a pain- ful death from mutilation, he thought of a way out. With ges- tures of great generosity, he pulled some hairs out of his beard and chest and dabbed them on the Indian's chin, trying to make them stick there. Others at once brought some vegetable gum for sticking them,, and he explained as best he could that they would quickly spread and flourish. "In one month," he shouted, "Pulipuli," Everyone then took up the word,and the rest began stick- ing snippets of hairs on their faces, sure that they would be- come bearded men within a month! Earlier, Vinci's wrist -watch had been snatched from him and taken to the chief, but the strange tick -tick -tick indicated that there was a heart inside it. It was an animal with potent, mysterious powers, standing in some magical ,relationship to its owner. Won- derment tinged with fear promp- ted the chief to return it to Vinci. How, from being captives, Vin- ci and his party became virtu- ally guests of the tribe, Jiving with them and studying their strange customs, makes a fasci- nating story; How Winnie Keeps So Well Dressed In all her 39 years as a comic - strip 'heroine, chic Winnie Winkle has never worn the same frock twice. As far back as 1935 envi- ous female readers were asking; "Where does she get her. clothes?" And in 1959 they were still curious about this. In New York recently to accept a Na- tional Cartoonists. Society award, Winnie Winkle's creator, Martin Branner, revealed her secret: "My wife, Edith, subscribes to all the fashion magazines and picks out Winnie's dresses."
