This is a sea tale, and the reader can look out upon the wide shimmering sea as it flashes back the sunlight, and imagine himself afloat with Harry Vandyne, Walter Morse, Jim Libby and that old shell-back, Bob Brace, on the brig Bonita. The boys discover a mysterious document which enables them to find a buried treasure. They are stranded on an island and at last are rescued with the treasure.
Thet's why Pat Hawe thinks Gene plugged the strange vaquero who was with little Bonita thet night last fall. Wal, Gene's scrappin' now jest to git shot up hisself, for some reason thet only God Almighty knows." Nels's story of how Stewart wept over his horse influenced Madeline powerfully. Her next move was to persuade Alfred to see if he could not do better with this doggedly bent cowboy.
When I marry her she is young seventeen year bonita. Like the rest she ees become old and what you say! tough? I am the same young all the time. To-night I resolve to dress myself and find another wife befitting my age. This old woman try to scr-r-ratch my face. Ha! ha! Meester Tansee same way they do entre los Americanos." "And this health-food you spoke of?" said Tansey.
"Bonita's your wife!" ejaculated Stillwell. "Sure. We've been married for months," replied Danny, happily. "Gene Stewart did it. Good old Gene, he's hell on marryin'. I guess maybe I haven't come to pay him up for all he's done for me! You see, I've been in love with Bonita for two years. An' Gene you know, Bill, what a way Gene has with girls he was well, he was tryin' to get Bonita to have me."
"The nasty stuff! For a sick man? Don't be greedy, Boyd. And I'm glad there isn't any more, for Captain Dettmar's sake. Drinking always makes him irritable. And now for the men's dinner. Soda crackers, sweet cakes, candy " "Substantial, I must say." "Do hush. Rice, and curry, yam, taro, bonita, of course, a big cake Toyama is making, young pig " "Oh, I say," he protested. "It is all right, Boyd.
Bonita will corroborate your testimony in court, and that will save me from this this man's spite." Madeline, looking at Stewart, seeing a humility she at first took for cowardice, suddenly divined that it was not fear for himself which made him dread further disclosures of that night, but fear for her fear of shame she might suffer through him.
Bonita, promise to stay away from El Cajon." "Si, Senor." He led her outside. Madeline heard the horse snort and champ his bit. The cowboy spoke low; only a few words were intelligible "stirrups... wait... out of town... mountain... trail ... now ride!" A moment's silence ensued, and was broken by a pounding of hoofs, a pattering of gravel.
Florence's hair streamed on the wind and shone gold in the sunlight. Yet Madeline saw her with the same thrill with which she had seen the wild-riding Bonita. Then hoarse shouts unclamped Madeline's power of movement, and she spurred the black into the open. He wanted to run and he was swift. Madeline loosened the reins laid them loose upon his neck. His action was strange to her.
"Vamoose, quick," she ordered peremptorily, "you /coon/!" The red of insult burned through the Mexican's dark skin. "/Hidalgo, Yo/!" he shot between his fangs. "I am not neg-r-ro! /Diabla bonita/, for that you shall pay me." He made two quick upward steps this time, but the stone, hurled by no weak arm, struck him square in the chest.
So sparse were the flying fish that nearly a week more elapsed before the last one on board saw his first flying fish. As for the dolphin, bonita, porpoise, and all the other hordes of life there weren't any. Not even a shark broke surface with his ominous dorsal fin. Bert took a dip daily under the bowsprit, hanging on to the stays and dragging his body through the water.
