Between the Muralls de Confit, the Bareta de Casaret and the Roca de Espioca, lay deep tortuous gullies far down under the sea.

His Peruvian friend he could not find, but he looked up the Chinese trader that he'd first seen him with and who had a shop on the corner between Martin Jackson's and the faro joint. "The Chinaman could tell him. Señor Roca had taken the choo-choo back to Callao si, si Oh, yes, for Lima. "Cogan asked for the name and address and got it. 'Señor Luis Roca, he repeated.
