Through the heart of Patagonia . nes : First fact—The child was possessed by a devil of great powerand ferocity, who set up such a trouble inside her body that it cameforth through her skin in blotches and spots. Second fact—A devil is known to dislike noise and cold. Alldevils do. Hence the ride of the unlucky patient without a shredto protect her from the strong west wind snow-fed with bitter cold,and the almost incredible uproar made by the old gentleman uponthe dark brown horse. If one concedes the premises, it must be admitted there wasmethod m his madness. The above account was given me by Mr. Ernest Cattle, anaccurate observer, whose knowledge of the wild districts ofPatagonia is unique. Such is the Tehuelche Indian of Peitagonia to-day, and factstend to show that he has in very few particulars departed from thecustoms, manner of living and modes of thought which distinguishedhis forefathers in the dawn of authentic Tehuelchian history. Theearliest mention of the natives of Patagonia occurs on the occasion.
