THE DEATH

Nobody understands that gringo,” says the police chief. “He arrived this morning with a bellboy from the Hotel National and created pandemonium. He is Swiss; I examined his passport. He says he saw a dead woman on a beach up the River Iparana. The Devil to pay! “People die here all the time, and now I have to concern myself with some woman who died a thousand kilometers away. I sent for you, Noronha, because I know you speak French.” 

“No, Doctor, only English.” “Never mind. I want you to see if you can find-out what the gringo wants. I don’t believe his story.” 

“Could the gringo have killed the woman?” 

“What do I know? He said she was fair-skinned and young; as white as he! A dead white woman up the Iparana is some¬ thing unheard of. Do you believe it?” 

Hours later, Noronha gives an oral report:

“I talked to the man. Doctor. I didn’t need an interpreter; he found a girl attendant at the hotel who speaks perfect French. We had a long conversation. Here is what I ascertained. The man is in fact Swiss.” 

“You don’t say! That really is news. As if I hadn’t seen his passport!” 

“He is a naturalist. That is to say, he came up from Belem with a scientific expedition to film ants.” 

“Ants?” 

“Yes, Doctor, ants. The man is, so to speak, an ecologistentomologist. He studies insects in their natural habitat.” 

“What does this have to do with the dead woman?” 

“Nothing, he was only explaining how he came to be in such an out-of-the-way place. He really did see the dead woman on the beach. Naked.” 

“Completely?” 

“That’s right. And white and less than thirty years old. She died in childbirth.” 

“In childbirth? Mother of Jesus!”
