CURETUS, a tribe of South American Indians, inhabiting the country between the rivers of Japura and Uaup�s, north-western Brazil.

He was going to take that boat up the Japura, and you’d have thought it was above Boulter’s Lock.

On the Rio Japura an Indian shot an arrow through his leg, and O’Brien dropped in the long grass, breaking the arrow short each side of the limb, and in an ensuing long watchful duel 244 presently shot the Indian through the throat.

It proved that they had strayed from the Solimoës by its left or northern bank, and must now be somewhere among the mouths of the great river Japura.
