Amelia “Wrongway” Aire-Biscet and her band of all female big hunters disappeared into the Titti Island jungles in 1910 and were never heard from again.

With President Roosevelt’s exploits focusing great attention on big game hunting, Amelia and her associates set out to prove that anything a man could do, a woman could do better.  As expected, a few weeks into the expedition, all contact was lost with their party, and a massive search was launched.  Their disappearance remained a mystery until 1916 when Amelia’s diary and camera were found.  Four of the pictures from that camera appear on this and the following page.
 

The picture above, probably taken by the seventh member of the expedition, shows the ladies after they had fallen on hard times.  Their food is gone and their clothes are in tatters.  Amelia is second from left.

The picture below shows the women after they were found by one of the tribes in the area.  Amelia’s diary records that the natives were extremely generous with their food but required her party to go naked like the native women after burning the remnants of the group's clothing.
