10 Write the summary "The Empire of the Ants" features a Brazilian
of the book captain, Gerilleau, who is ordered to take his
gunboat, the Benjamin Constant, to assist the
inhabitants of the town of Badama, in the "Upper
Amazon," "against a plague of ants." A Lancashire
engineer named Holroyd, from whose point of
view the story is, for the most part, told,
accompanies him. They find a species of large
black ant that has evolved advanced intelligence
and has used it to make tools and organize
aggression. Before arriving in Badama, Captain
Gerilleau encounters a cuberta which has been
taken over by the ants, which have killed and
mutilated two sailors. After Capt. Gerilleau sends
his second in command, Lieutenant da Cunha,
aboard the vessel, the ants attack him and he dies
painfully hours later, apparently poisoned. The
next day, after burning the cuberta, the Benjamin
Constant arrives off Badama. The town is deserted
and all its inhabitants dead or dispersed. Fearing
1
the ants and their poison, Capt. Gerilleau contents
himself with firing "de big gun" at the town twice,
with minimal effect. He then demands "what else
was there to do?" (variant of this phrase are used
throughout the story when discussing the ants) and
returns downstream for orders. A final section
reports that Holroyd has returned to England to
warn the authorities about the ants "before it is too
late."
