When, however, Maco went to look for it, the bird was nowhere to be seen. The whole day passed by, and Marian began to give up all hopes of ever recovering her pet. The next morning our attention was attracted by the most extraordinary noises, arising from a flock of parrots at a little distance.
We have already seen that American nations, speaking languages of a very different structure, call the sun by the same name; that the moon is sometimes called sleeping sun, sun of night, light of night; and that sometimes the two orbs have the same denomination. These examples are taken from the Guarany, the Omagua, Shawanese, Miami, Maco, and Ojibbeway idioms.
And savage people, nations and tribes Guahibo, Aguaricoto, Ayano, Maco, Piaroa, Quiriquiripo, Tuparito shall I name a hundred more? It would be useless, Rima; they are all savages, and live widely scattered in the forests, hunting with bow and arrow and the zabatana. Consider, then, how large Guayana is!" "Guayana Guayana! Do I not know all this is Guayana? But beyond, and beyond, and beyond?
For this purpose each of them dug a hole on the shore of the lake, into which they let the water, and seated over it performed the whole operation under the surface. I reminded them of the huge alligator I had seen. "No fear, Massa Guy," answered Maco; "while we make noise like this, the caymans take care not to come near us."
In San Cristobal the Spanish flag on the government building was replaced by the emblem of the new republic, a mayor and city officials were appointed, resolutions were adopted by the new authorities, and, after all the arms in the town had been collected, Maco remained a day to rest his men and horses, and moved on the following morning at daybreak.
This last tribe bears the name of Macos-Macos. Maize, Niarne. One, Nianti. Two, Tajus. Three, Percotahuja. Four, Imontegroa. The young man could not reckon as far as five, which certainly is no proof that the word five does not exist in the Maco tongue.
Had we not possessed Maco as a guide, we should very naturally have gone up it, and thus found ourselves close to our supposed enemies. I was already beginning to feel somewhat fatigued, and I was afraid that Marian must be tired. I asked her how she felt.
We had begun to hope that he had turned back, when suddenly a voice close to us exclaimed, "Halloa! what has become of them all?" and to our great satisfaction we recognised it as that of Maco. Uncle Paul immediately called to him; and he soon scrambled on board, exhibiting infinite satisfaction at finding us.
Their fear was that the mast might be caught by some of the overhanging branches, or that some submerged bough might strike the log and upset it. Both dangers had to be guarded against. The log was moving very slowly. The skipper therefore hailed the men, telling them to come down and that he would pick them up. The Indian, Maco, was the first to follow his advice.
"It is either just kindled on the branches of some high tree or else on ground rising considerably above the stream. Can Kallolo and Maco have got there and kindled it as a signal to us? For my part, I confess I cannot make it out?" The rest of the party now got up and looked in the direction in which we were gazing. They were greatly puzzled.
