And Pedro Nino had left Cadiz in June, three days after the arrival there of the Nina and the Santa Cruz. "June! They had then a long voyage!" "Long enough! They looked like skeletons! If the Admiral's hair could get whiter, it was whiter." He had letters for the Adelantado from the great brother, having waited in Cadiz while they were written. Juan Lepe had likewise a letter.
He cried when he had to climb the dark flues, rubbing his poor knees and elbows raw; and when the soot got into his eyes, which it did every day in the week; and when his master beat him, which he did every day in the week; and when he had not enough to eat, which happened every day in the week likewise.

A university had been founded at Coimbra, in Portugal, and Andrea Govea had been invited to bring thither what French savants he could collect.

"Dress parade, for the last time!" cried Dick Rover. "Come, get out and be quick about it!" And as captain of Company A he caught up his sword and buckled it on in a hurry, while Tom, as a lieutenant of the same command, did likewise. When they came out on the parade ground of the encampment they found the cadets of Putnam Hall hurrying to the spot from all directions.
