"Amigo mio!" he gasped hoarsely, "something has gone terribly wrong somewhere, for the Chilian squadron is bombarding Iquique; and what is more, all the shells are falling in this quarter. The streets are full of dead, and a man I saw flying past just now says that a body of marines is already on shore, and coming this way. We must fly at once, or we shall be too late!
Now, putting one thing with another, I'm of the mind, master, they're on your trail." "No doubt of it, amigo I haven't the slightest doubt of it. So I'll be chased out of my cave that's certain. I believe they have a suspicion of where I am already. Well, I must try to find another resting-place.
"Amigo de los prisoneros!" By the time the second explanation had left his lips Dave had bounded forward, struck aside the rifle, and had gripped the sentry by the throat, bearing him to the ground. A blow from one of the young ensign's fists, and the fellow lay still. Espying trouble from the rear, Coxswain Riley started his men on a swift run toward the spot.
Then Slim, who ever tramped solidly over the flowers of sarcasm, blurted one of his unexpected retorts. "I was just wonderin', by golly, where yuh learnt to talk!" Miguel turned his velvet eyes sleepily toward the speaker. "From the boarders who ate those parrots, amigo," he smiled serenely.

"I wear them every day I ride," answered Miguel, a peculiar, caressing note in his voice. "I didn't know we heard you had disappeared off the earth. Why " Miguel laughed outright. "To fight a bull with bare hands is one thing, amigo," he said.

When sufficiently near to be heard, he halted; and a conversation, partly by signs, and partly by means of a little Spanish, enabled him and Carlos to understand each other.
