In answer to this request American marines were landed at Corinto and assumed control of the national railway which connected that port with the capital and the principal cities. The American minister made a public announcement to the effect that the United States intended to keep open the routes of communication and to protect American life and property.
"Do we show in Corinto?" "Yes; why?" "I thought I had heard you mention that we were to do so." "Why do you ask that question?" "I'll answer it by asking another," smiled the Circus Boy. "When do we make that stand?" The showman consulted his route book. "A week from next Tuesday," he said. "Anything wrong about that?" "Yes." "What?"
The object was that no mosquito after biting me should be able to bite anyone else. We had been some two and a half days out of Corinto, so my period of detention was not of long duration. I also got infinitely better messing than any hotel in Panama afforded.
On reaching harbour the health officials came on board, and to my surprise selected me alone among the passengers for quarantine. The explanation was that I had gone ashore at Corinto.
Your cable received all right. We were very glad to hear. We have decided to go on by mules to Manaqua, the Capital of Nicaragua, and from there either to Corinto or to Lemon on the Atlantic side. We had to do this or wait here ten days for the boat going south at Amapala. It is moonlight now so that we can avoid the heat of the day.
Let me see, tomorrow will be Sunday, and it is fifty miles to Corinto. I should be able to make the town by tomorrow night sometime. Yes, I'll try it." Having formed this resolve, Phil started manfully off for his long walk to Corinto. He did not stop to consider that he would be hungry before he got there.
One of them was on the Princeton glee club and their stories of how they have toured Central America are very amusing. Lots of Love. S. S. Barracouta Off San Juan February 21, 1895. DEAR MOTHER: Today I believe is the 21st. We are out two days from Corinto off San Juan on the boundary of Costa Rica and lie here some hours. Then we go on without stopping to Panama arriving there about the 25th.
But I guess I ought to be thankful for what I already have." Saying this, Phil dropped from the wagon and quickly got into the clothes. They were old and dirty, but he did not mind that. They were clothes and they would cover his conspicuous ring costume, which was the most important thing for him to consider at the present moment. "Now, I'll buy a ticket and get started for Corinto," he decided.
"I've a plan to suggest." "What is it?" "If you will ride for me until we get to Corinto I'll give you seventy-five dollars." The Circus Boy was on the point of making an emphatic refusal, when he suddenly checked himself and remained silent, as if thinking the proposition over. "Well, what do you say?" "If I do as you wish, when will you let me go?" "Perhaps after we leave Corinto."
As in the Central American States, "Ote toi de la que m'y mette" is on the standard of every ambitious general, colonel or politician. It is the direct cause of all the revolutions. At Corinto a lady, whom we became intimate with, landed for the professed purpose of "revoluting."
