This same fellow that's talking to you now has been director of a circus in America; I've travelled through all the countries and sailed over every sea in the world; at present I'm adrift in a violent tempest; at night I go from cafe to cafe with this phonograph, and the next morning I carry around one of these betting apparatuses that consists of an Infiel Tower with a spiral.
"Yes sirree; a steamboat that was on its course many miles off, on hearing the lobster's wails thought that this might be the signal of some shipwrecked crew; it drew near the island, picked me up, and in a few days I was back with my company." As he finished his tale Don Alonso made a most expressive grimace, and left with his Infiel Tower for the street.
"Why don't you tell us stories of the countries you've been to?" asked Perico Rebolledo. "No, not now; I have to go out with the Infiel Tower." "Ah! Go on, tell us," they would all implore. Don Alonso pretended to be importuned by the request; but when he got going, he spun one yarn after the other in such numbers that they almost had to beg him to stop.
