After lunch, the workers began carrying the fruits of their toil up to the flats—long straight logs, creepers, branches, palm fronds. With OBie and Ray filming, and Anthony and Shellabarger and Billie supervising, they started work on the stockade.

The soldiers and el Colonel stayed out of their way. The Army and the Indians behaved like oil and water, refusing to mix or even to come too close together.

It was hard to believe this would all be over soon, and they’d take the trucks back down the trail, ride the boats downriver to the towns on the Caroní and the Orinoco, and then catch a ship back to the States—to home, wherever that would be. OBie and Ray would have their movie film, and he and his father would have their still pictures and their memories.

He did not know what Shellabarger and Lotto Gluck would have. Memories as well, he supposed.

Peter opened his notebook and wrote:

Until now, I’ve never understood my father’s need to find excitement and go to interesting places. I always felt safest going places in my head. Now that we’re here on Pico Poco and the animals are going home soon, I wonder if I’ll ever have another adventure again. I’m pretty sure that if another opportunity like this comes my way, I won’t turn it down. So now I know more about why my father behaves the way he does—and why my mother could not stand it.
