I knew well what these red spots of the forest were. They were clumps of cinchona trees those trees that yield the celebrated febrifuge the Peruvian bark! New ideas passed rapidly through my mind. "Our fortune is gone," thought I. "Here is a fortune in these valuable trees. Here is a mine that only requires to be worked. I shall turn cascarillero I shall be a bark-hunter."

"What do you think of doing, then?" naturally demanded Marcoy, who had long since begun to feel that the expedition had but one chief, and that was the sepia-colored cascarillero from Bolivia, "Everything and nothing," answered Eusebio. These enigmas always carry the day. The apparatus of march was once more set in motion toward the adjacent water-sheds.
