Explorers Penetrate 8 A Jungle Reach Orinoco Headwaters
A New York cable message from Caracas reports eight explorers penetrating the southern Venezuelan jungle toward the Orinoco headwaters. Led by Dr Jose Cruxent, the party, including three French scientists, traveled five weeks from Caracas across difficult terrain to Esmeraldas, facing disease and supply delays. The team sought detailed maps and reports, and several members trekked onward while others returned to Caracas to avoid insects. The Orinoco source lies near the Brazilian border in a sparsely populated, warlike-tribe region.
