All the captives from Barbary, who had already suffered so much, were permitted to continue their journey home, save only Jean de Morales. This one exception was made because the Portuguese captain was not willing to give to Spain the glory of the discovery which the Castilian sailor was longing to attempt.
Pleading, raging, maddened, Morales learned that the dash had failed, and that two of his most daring men, the two Americanos who had ridden forward to personate prospectors and who had led the rush in the southern front, were knocked out of the fight.
Julien Morales and Arthur Stanley the aged and the young the Jewish recluse and Christian warrior knelt side by side on the cold earth, which concealed the remains of one to both so inexpressibly dear. The moonlit shrubs and spangled heaven alone beheld their mutual sorrow, and the pale moon waned, and the stars gleamed paler and paler in the first gray of dawn ere that vigil was concluded.
The reason for this suddenly aroused dislike he could not indeed have defined, except that Morales had obtained without difficulty a treasure, to obtain which he had offered to sacrifice so much.
What frightful object hast thou seen, to bid thee quail, who never quailed before? Where is Morales? Hast thou found him?" "Ay," muttered Don Alonzo, evidently struggling to recall his energies, while the peculiar tone of the single monosyllable caused every heart to shudder. "And where is he? Why came he not hither?
Morales was still left as Venezuela's curse. Ribas, after a defeat, was traveling with two officers. He was sick and sad. He lay down to rest under a tree while his servant went to a near-by town to obtain some provisions. The servant betrayed his master, and Ribas was imprisoned. In the town he was humiliated and insulted. Then he was killed.
Is that any way to act?" "I prefer to talk to you when your eyes are open. I know all about " "You don't know nothing about anything," snapped the other. "José's got it in for Mrs. Austin." "You said you didn't know him." "Well, I don't. He's never been to see me in his life, but his sweetheart has. Rosa Morales comes regular." "Rosa! José's sweetheart!" "Yes.
"Even the same dark power which seeks my destruction, and laid Morales low," replied Stanley, more as if thinking aloud than addressing his companion; "and when the clue to one mystery is found, the rest will follow. Some fiend from hell is at work around us. Morales is gone.
In his keeping lies one of the two copies of Morales' story as we took it down from his lips at Sagres, or, rather, compiled it after much questioning. It shall be for the Count to produce or withhold it, as he may decide. He is a just man, and neither one way nor the other will I attempt to sway him." Master d'Arfet considered for a while.
Everybody I met on the way was civil enough, but these may be a different kind of fellows." Whether they were or not, the whole force under General Morales was in a state of unusual excitement that day, for the report was going around that the American army brought by Commodore Connor's fleet was rapidly coming ashore near Sacrificios Island, only three miles south of Vera Cruz.
