We could see into and through the gap in Huevos, through which we had tried to reach the guacharo cave. |
To go down into the guacharo signifies in their language to die. |
One afternoon we made an attempt on the other guacharo cave, which lies in the cliff on the landward side of the Monos Boca. |
In habits the guacharo is wholly nocturnal, slumbering by day in deep and dark caverns which it frequents in vast numbers. |
The following morning early we rowed away again, full of longing, but not of hope, of reaching one or other of the guacharo caves. |
This fat is known by the name of butter or oil of the guacharo. |
