The Country of the Black Flame

of the Amazon featuring Harrow noise, world famous explorer in person. Find the party all together again. Mr. noise, Pedro, Jim and Jean Brady,

and Donovan the pilot. The seaplane with a broken foot feller blade is back in the big river. It was floated down to the sand bar where Mr. noise and Pedro hid their dugouts so that the necessary foods and equipment could be transferred from the cabin of the plane to the canoes.

While the party must continue on upriver by canoe and the useless aeroplane will be floated downriver to civilization for a new propeller. We now find the Mr. Noise and Pedro checking over the stores and Donovan unloading the cabin gear with Jim and the Gene helping.

That village may have quieted down. Got over the big scale they got from the fireworks. What? You mean that they might gang up on us again? A white man may be able to do a lot of things, machine.

But he can never figure out an Indian's way of doing things. If these Indians will just believe that the fireworks were magic, then we're safe. But if by now they have had a chance to reason out that it was a trick we pulled on them, well...
