As the cap was pulled over his face, the last words he uttered between his teeth with a scowl were "Carajo, los Americanos!" At a word from the sheriff, the mules were started, and the wagon drawn from under the tree. No fall was given, and their feet remained on the board till the ropes drew tight.
A voice, louder than the rest, was heard exclaiming: "Carajo! guardaos! esta el rifle del diablo!" It was doubtless the comrade of Jose, who had been in the skirmish of La Virgen, and had felt the bullet of the zundnadel. The guerilleros, awed by the death of their leader for it was Yanez who had fallen crouched behind the rocks.
"Carajo!" he cries, winding up with the mildest of his profane exclamations. "Ride on, senores, and get soon home! While there, be happy as you best may. Ha, ha! there won't be much merriment in that nest now, with the young chick out of it pet bird of the flock; nor long before the whole brood be called upon to forsake it.
The maddened mules flew at their collars and tore away, the wagons bounding after them, and Pasqual Morales, thrusting forth his head to learn the cause of all the panic, grabbed the revolver at his belt with one fierce curse. "Carajo!"
Wingrove was still alive: the wretch Su-wa-nee must be near? "Carajo!" again yelled the savage. "What promised you the Red-Hand? To cut the living flesh from your bones? But no that would be merciful. The Arapahoes have contrived a sweeter vengeance one that will appease the spirits of our slain warriors. We shall combine sport with the sacrifice of the pale-faced dogs ha, ha, ha!"
"Carajo! a dead shot, for Dios!" exclaimed Don Emilio. "That will teach the heathen Indians to keep their distance; they will not be over-anxious to meet these two Christians at close quarters!" We were not molested on this day nor on the next, but on the day thereafter we were in terrible danger. The Indians fired the dry grass, and if the wind had been stronger we must have been burned to death.
Calling him an old blower and bloat, a gas-bag and fanfaron, a Gascon and a carajo, alma miserabile, and a pudding-head, a sacre menteur and a verfluchte prahlerische Hauptesel, a brassy old blunder-head and a spupsy, un sot sans pareil and a darned old hoffmagander; a pepper-pot-pourri, a thafe of the wurreld and an owld baste, the divil's blissing an him!
It was but a plot on the part of the cowardly thieves to take from me my whole cargo, without daring to do so openly. Carajo! I am lost!" This last phrase was uttered in a tone that partook equally of anger and grief. The cibolero was certainly placed in an unpleasant situation. All his hopes lately running so high were crushed in a single moment.
Yase, yase, dere he is! I see him! I see him! Carajo! Cozenheiro maldito!" This news came upon us like a thunderbolt, but none of us would believe it until we had been absolutely convinced of the truth of what the steward had stated by seeing for ourselves.
For all that there was a chance, as the yellow hunter well knew; and it was that which caused him at intervals to mutter "Dam! fear dog give us trouble, boy Pepe." To this the zambo's only response was the bitter shibboleth "Carajo!" showing that both were uneasy about the dog.
