They also catch the fish in wicker baskets made from the bejucos, but most generally with atarrayas, esparaveles, other small barrederas, and with hand lines and hooks. The most usual food of the natives is a fish as small as pejerreyes. They dry and cure these fish in the sun and air, and cook them in many styles. They like them better than large fish. It is called laulau among them.
We were forced to adopt the clothing of our first parents, and tied sandals to our feet made of bark which we cut from the trees with sharp stones, fixing them on by means of the tough flexible roots of a plant called bejucos.
A quarter of an hour later they all stopped at the foot of a ravine in front of a small tributary of the Amazon. But a bridge of lianas, made of "bejucos," twined together by their interlacing branches, crossed the stream. The cipo, dividing into two strings, served for a handrail, and passed from one bank to the other.
The natives' method of catching them is by making corrals of bejucos, which are certain slender canes or rushes, solid and very pliant and strong; these are employed for making cables for the natives' boats, as well as other kinds of ropes. They catch the fish inside these corrals, having made the enclosures fast by means of stakes.
