There was no one there, least of all . How could he? He is hundreds of miles off! It was an illusion! Ha! ha! ha! What the devil is the matter with my senses, I wonder? That horrid dream of last night has bewitched them! Carrambo! I'll think no more of it?" As he said this he resumed his pace more briskly, believing that that might rid him of his unpleasant reflections.
Even the bride has been snatched off, from before the altar from the arms of the bridegroom fondly clasping, and before he has had time to caress her! Ay de mi, cavallero! Truly can I say that: it has been my own story." "Yours?" "Yes mine. You ask me for souvenirs. There is one that will cling to me for life!" The Mexican pointed to his mutilated limb. "Carrambo!" continued he, "that is nothing.
"Poor Senor Carrambo is suffering fearfully from the ague," he said in explanation to the admiral of this little attention on his part "I'm afraid he should not have ventured out of the cabin." "A good glass of sherry will soon warm him," said the admiral smiling, "and I think I shall be able to offer him one."
"Un Americano," repeated I, for we were conversing in Spanish. "Y son esos Americanos?" "Si, Senor," replied I. "Carrambo!" shouted the Spaniard, with a sudden leap, his eyes almost starting from their sockets. "I should say, not exactly Americans," I added. "Many of them are Irish, and French, and Germans, and Swedes, and Swiss; yet they are all Americans now."
In my long experience with the tribe, I have never known of a similar incident. But Wakometkla is a very singular man, and so greatly is he reverenced by his nation, that he can do many things which Tonsaroyoo himself would hesitate to undertake. "Carrambo, but this story-telling is dry work. See if there be not a flask of mezcal within the lodge. Caval you have found it?
Why, ye yeller-bellied fool, thet's my hat yeer stompin' on!" "Your hat!" echoed the trapper in a contemptuous tone. "Carrambo, senor! you should be ashamed of yourself. Any man who would wear a silk hat! Wagh!" "An' why ain't a silk hat as good's any other?"
"Carrambo! no, senorito," replied the tiger-hunter, now laughing outright; "that's not the sort of food the fellow is fond of. You'll see it presently. By good luck, it's just in season now just as the bears fancy it or else we needn't look to start them here. We should have to go further up the mountains: where they are more difficult both to find and follow.
"Of course she loved you?" "Ah! that truly did she else why should she have consented to marry me? What was I? A poor cibolero at times a hunter and trapper of beavers, just as I am now? I was possessed of nothing but my horse and traps; whiles he Carrambo! senor, proud ricos pretended to her hand!" It is possible that my countenance may have expressed incredulity.
The lady once more returned to the azotea once more took up the bandolon; but after a few touches of the strings, laid it down, and again rose to her feet. Again she soliloquised. "Carrambo! it is very strange! neither in my chamber the sala, the cuarto, the azotea, the garden! where can it be? O Dios! if it should fall into the hands of papa!
The charge might have been likened to a chapter from the antique an onslaught of Scythians! Would the Arapahoes await the shock of all four divisions at once? All were about equally distant, and closing in at equal speed. Surely the Red-Hand would not stay to be thus attacked. "Carrambo! I wonder they are not off before this!" shouted Archilete, who was galloping by my side.
