She was eager for news. Sanders told her what had taken place. They spoke in her tongue. "And Juan is it all right about him?" she asked. "Juan has wiped the slate clean. Mr. Crawford wants to know when Bonita is to be married. He has a wedding present for her." She was all happy smiles when he left her. Late that afternoon Bob Hart reached town.
And now came the captains of the Albacore, Snark and Bonita. "You won the race fairly and squarely," said the former, shaking Rob's hand. "I presume, commodore, the time was taken?" "It has been," replied that official. "The Flying Fish wins by one minute and four and seven hundredths seconds."
The skipper was at the helm; Osgood and he were in the radius of a lantern which revealed their faces to each other. Outside of that was pitch darkness; the rain drove in fierce slants against them, and the wind howled all round the sea. The skipper did not look concerned, neither did Osgood; but they were both wondering which would first break over the Bonita, the light of morning or the sea.
If an orphan calf is found that is in danger of starving it is picked up, carried home and fed. On the average ranch foundlings and weaklings get no attention whatever, but are left in their misery to pine away and perish from neglect. The profit of caring for the weak and sick animals on the Sierra Bonita ranch amounts to a large sum every year, which the owner thinks is worth saving.
Van Campen Heilner wrote about a barracuda he caught on a bass rod, and he is not likely to forget it, nor will the reader of his story forget it. R. C. had another strike, hooked his fish, and brought it in readily. It was a bonita of about five pounds, the first one my brother had ever caught.
The Sierra Bonita ranch is situated in the famous Sulphur Spring valley in Cochise County, Arizona, which is, perhaps, the only all grass valley in the Territory. The valley is about twenty miles wide and more than one hundred miles long and extends into Mexico.
"Them critters? Why, Danny Mains," replied Stillwell, with a cough that betrayed embarrassment. "Danny Mains?" echoed Madeline, wonderingly. "Wal, I said so." Stillwell was indeed not himself. "Is Danny Mains here?" she asked, in sudden curiosity. The old cattleman nodded gloomily. "Yep, he's hyar, all right. Sloped in from the hills, an' he hollered to see Bonita.
The five Japanese armored cruisers and the torpedo flotilla, which were to surprise and destroy the naval station and the docks, were able to cross the entire bay under cover of the fog without being recognized and to occupy the docks and the arsenal. Four mortar-boats threatened Point Bonita and Lime Point, till they both surrendered.
We were admiring his beautiful, subdued colors as he swam near the boat, when up out of the blue depths shot a long gray form as swift as lightning. It was a big barracuda. In his rush he cut that bonita in two. The captain grasped the line and yelled for us to get the gaffs. R. C. dropped the rod and got the small gaff, and as I went for the big one I heard them both yell.
"Has thee so much money that thee must waste it on me, Osgood?" But she was pleased with the gift. They rode home amicably. Peter, as a favor, allowed Osgood to drive, while he imparted to Maria sundry bits of information gained at the meeting. "Mackerel" went in and out at Osgood's ears without gaining his attention, till he caught at something Peter said about the Bonita. He listened.
