But seeing the sadness of the Indian, he added: "Let us go, amigo, we will talk of these things afterward!" An hour later, Martin Paz, clad in Spanish costume, left the city, accompanied by Don Vegal, who took none of his people with him. The Baths of Chorillos are situated at two leagues from Lima.

"There's a house back there."
"Why, your light-o'-love, for sure, friend, as we found along o' you on a lonely island, amigo." "Resolution, you lie " "On a lonely island, camarado," says he again. "Wait!"
