A hundred whales of the largest size could hardly have dashed up the ocean waves more violently. "Anda, anda!" "What is it, then?" asked Paganel. "The rising," replied Thalcave. "He means an inundation," exclaimed Paganel, flying with the others after Thalcave, who had spurred on his horse toward the north.
The wave was speeding on with the rapidity of a racehorse, and the travelers fled before it like a cloud before a storm-wind. They looked in vain for some harbor of refuge, and the terrified horses galloped so wildly along that the riders could hardly keep their saddles. "Anda, anda!" shouted Thalcave, and again they spurred on the poor animals till the blood ran from their lacerated sides.

I was preparing to return, and had thrust one leg back through the hedge, when a harsh voice apparently that of a man mingled with the silvery tones. "Anda! anda! hace mucho calor. Vamos a volver."

Anda commanded "that all the Chinese in the Philippine Islands should be hanged," which order was very generally carried out. The last great Chinese massacre took place in 1819, when the aliens were suspected of having brought about the cholera by poisoning the wells.
