Up the Mazaruni for diamonds . im just how to speakthe word Lewis and he was a very proudIndian. Each house consisted of only a reed andpalm-leaf roof supported on poles, there be-ing no sides to any of them. The supply ofhousehold goods was pitifully small were plenty of weapons, a few cassava-making implements, a rare metal dish or tincan and hammocks everywhere. The Indianwomen sit in these hammocks doing theirweaving or bead work by day and all sleep inthem by night. There was a fire at eachhut, made of logs which were arranged likethe spokes of a wheel, the inner ends, orhub being the fire. As the ends wouldburn away the logs would be pushed intoward the center and new ones added as theold ones burned up. These fires suppliedplenty of heat for cooking and enoughwarmth for the night chill and they werenever allowed to go out. In some places avillage is not moved for a year or two, de-pending upon whether there is a death there,and a fire once started burns steadily on thatspot all of the time. [84].
