He
winced
as
if
in
pain
.
"
Do
n't
!
Do
n't
talk
of
elephants
in
South
America
.
Even
in
these
days
of
Board
schools
--
--
"
"
Well
,
"
I
interrupted
,
"
any
large
South
American
animal
--
a
tapir
,
for
example
.
"
"
You
may
take
it
,
young
man
,
that
I
am
versed
in
the
elements
of
my
business
.
This
is
not
a
conceivable
bone
either
of
a
tapir
or
of
any
other
creature
known
to
zoology
.
It
belongs
to
a
very
large
,
a
very
strong
,
and
,
by
all
analogy
,
a
very
fierce
animal
which
exists
upon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
but
has
not
yet
come
under
the
notice
of
science
.
You
are
still
unconvinced
?
"
"
I
am
at
least
deeply
interested
.
"
"
Then
your
case
is
not
hopeless
.
I
feel
that
there
is
reason
lurking
in
you
somewhere
,
so
we
will
patiently
grope
round
for
it
.
We
will
now
leave
the
dead
American
and
proceed
with
my
narrative
.
You
can
imagine
that
I
could
hardly
come
away
from
the
Amazon
without
probing
deeper
into
the
matter
.
There
were
indications
as
to
the
direction
from
which
the
dead
traveler
had
come
.
Indian
legends
would
alone
have
been
my
guide
,
for
I
found
that
rumors
of
a
strange
land
were
common
among
all
the
riverine
tribes
.
You
have
heard
,
no
doubt
,
of
Curupuri
?
"
"
Never
.
"
"
Curupuri
is
the
spirit
of
the
woods
,
something
terrible
,
something
malevolent
,
something
to
be
avoided
.
None
can
describe
its
shape
or
nature
,
but
it
is
a
word
of
terror
along
the
Amazon
.
Now
all
tribes
agree
as
to
the
direction
in
which
Curupuri
lives
.
It
was
the
same
direction
from
which
the
American
had
come
.
Something
terrible
lay
that
way
.
It
was
my
business
to
find
out
what
it
was
.
"
"
What
did
you
do
?
"
My
flippancy
was
all
gone
.
This
massive
man
compelled
one
's
attention
and
respect
.
