Her memoirs are electrifying by their facts; else, in the manner of telling these facts, they are systematically dry. Don Antonio Calderon was a handsome, accomplished cavalier. And in the course of dinner, Catalina was led to judge, from the behavior to each other of this gentleman and the lady, the Alcalde's beautiful wife, that they had an improper understanding.
The boy did not understand, but in the blue eyes of the Celt, peering from under the mop of iron-gray hair, there was no mistaking the knowledge of the situation. Voices of men were heard coming down the stairs, and, as Martinez and Dar Hyal entered, Terrence was saying: "'Tis fine weather they say they're having down at Catalina now, and I hear the tunny fish are biting splendid."
He offered her a new life. All these things at which she marveled she could experience and taste with but a word. Would she marry him? Catalina, who had been waiting for an hour for this proposal, turned pale, tremulous with emotion. To hear it from his lips! She sat still for some time without answering, and at last stammered out a few words.
He stood looking at her still, steadily, thoughtfully, tenderly. Presently he lifted his hand to his forehead, as if recalling some fading remembrance of other years. "Poor Catalina!" This was all he said. He shook his head, implying that his visit would be in vain to-day, returned to his sulky, and rode away, as if in a dream.

Soon after this Archulera went off to sleep in the other end of the house, after trying in vain to persuade Ramon to occupy his bed. Ramon, as always, refused. He would sleep on a pile of sheep skins in the corner.

The scene of all the stories of this collection is in the Encartaciones, and an examination of a few of them will make us acquainted with the usual range of characters and the author's mode of treatment. Here lived Santiago and Catalina, the latter a foundling whom Santiago's parents had found at their door one winter morning.

Sometimes small ones are caught with a hook and line off Catalina Island, and Tom was always glad to see such sea-tigers destroyed. Of course the children did not want to go home, till at last Mrs. Ransom explained to them that in the ocean and bay near San Francisco there were odd fish and strange animals too.
