"These" were a small black pig and a lusty specimen of black-red gamecock.
The grim block wants water at this season, when the thinnest coat of green clothes its black-red forms. La Isleta appears to have been a burial-ground of the indigenes, who, instead of stowing away their mummies in caves, built detached sepulchres and raised tumuli of scoriae over their embalmed dead.

"Worse! Your life's threatened an' your niece, Helen she's to be " "Shut up an' clear out!" roared Auchincloss, waving his huge fists.
The boy was listening in incredulous curiosity, half minded to laugh, half minded to edge away from the black-red radiance of yonder dusky swamp.

And as she chanted, deep, harsh tones came booming through the forest: "Zo-ra! Zo-ra! O o oh, Zora!"
When the priest turned from the altar, he looked down on complexions ranging from the natural pallor of La Salle to the black-red of the most weather-beaten native.
