He had held that gait since three o'clock in the morning, with an hour off for water and breakfast at Smith's Wells, the first stage station out from Cobre; it was now hot noon by a conscientious sun thirty-six miles. But Midnight did not care.
The southeastern coast of Cuba, between the entrance to Santiago harbor and the Bay of Guantanamo, is formed by three parallel ranges of hills and mountains which may be roughly characterized as follows: first, what I shall call the rampart a high, flat-topped ridge, or narrow table, very steep on the sea side, and broken into long terraces by outcropping ledges of limestone; second, the foot-hills, which rise out of a wooded valley or valleys behind the rampart; and, third, the high mountains of the coast, or Sierra del Cobre, range, which lie back of the foot-hills, at a distance of five or six miles from the sea.
"Cobre that's Mexican for copper is where we'll make our headquarters. You give me some paper and I'll make you a map mighty quick." Pete made a sketchy but fairly accurate map of Southern Arizona, with the main lines of railroad and the branches. "Here's Silverbell, at the end of this little spur of railroad.
'I could as soon, he said, 'sign his death-warrant." Everett grinned dismally. "That's rather nice of them," he said, "but it's hard on me. But," he demanded, "why Ward? What has he done for Amapala? Is it because of Cobre, because of his services as an archaeologist?" The consul glanced around the patio and dragged his chair nearer to Everett.
Either no one will find that mine before me and my friends meet up with you and your water, or else some one will find it before then. If no one finds it first, we've lost nothing. That's plain. But if my Cobre friends the push that railroaded Stan to jail if they should find that place while I'm back in New York, and little Jackson Carr working on it Good-bye, Jackson Carr!
Johnson and his doings; second, he wrote to Mr. Mayer Zurich, at Cobre, and sent it by the first mail west, so that the stage should bring it to Cobre by the next night; third, he telegraphed to a trusty satellite at Silverbell, telling him to hold an automobile in readiness to carry a telegram to Mayer Zurich, should Dewing send such telegram later. Then Dewing lay down to snatch a little sleep.
"You may go on, Oscar," he drawled patronizingly. After another angry turn, Mitchell resumed with forced composure: "Zurich is now a fixture in Cobre, Arizona, where my Cousin Stanley lives. I had a letter from him a week ago and he tells me this is in strict confidence, mind you that poor Stanley is in jail." Joey interrupted him by a gentle waving of a deprecatory hand.
Port Royal, notwithstanding its situation at the end of a peninsula, had in old days a terrible reputation for unhealthiness, only surpassed by that of Fort Augusta across the bay, the latter a veritable charnel-house. The neighbourhood of the poisonous swamps of the Rio Cobre was in both cases responsible for the loss of tens of thousands of British soldiers' lives in these two ill-fated spots.
The one exception as regards Jamaica is found in certain place-names such as Ocho Rios, Rio Grande, and Rio Cobre, but as these are all pronounced in the English fashion, the music of the Spanish names is lost. When Columbus discovered the island in 1494, he called it Santiago, St.
The nest and bird are figured in Gray's "Genera of Birds"; but the nest does not correspond with those found here. Dr. v. Martens conjectures that the designation salangane comes from langayah, bird, and the Malay prefix sa, and signifies especially the nest as something coming from the bird.
