Griscom would like to go on across by the route of the canal which would be a good thing were we certain of meeting a steamer at Simon or Greytown, but the Minister who went last month that way had to wait there sixteen days. So, we will probably leave Corinto on the 17th or 20th, there are two steamers, one that stops at ports and one that does not. They both arrive together.
No more had been seen of the Sully Hippodrome Circus after the meeting of the two organizations in Corinto, though that crowd had been heard of occasionally as hovering on the flanks of the Sparling shows. "I don't care where they go," said Mr. Sparling, "so long as they don't get in the same county with me.
The afternoon was well along when finally he awakened, sore and stiff in every joint. "If I should try to ride a bareback horse now I should fall off for sure," he moaned, rubbing his lame spots vigorously. "My, but I am hungry! I wonder how far I am from Corinto?" A mile post a little further along told him that he had covered just twenty miles of his journey.
If they are playing Corinto the day before we do, just by mere chance, then I shall make no further objections, but if they are planning to move along ahead of us and kill our business well, that's a different matter." "I see," nodded Phil. "Who will take my place in the ring work here?" "We will get along without it, that's all. It doesn't matter so much in these small towns.
However, he could not keep this up for long, and was soon obliged to settle back into his former slow pace. At last Phil came in sight of the church spires of a town. "I believe that is Corinto," he said, shading his eyes and peering off at the distant town. "At any rate I can't be far from it now." The knowledge was almost as good as a meal. Its effect on Phil Forrest was magical.
Furthermore, it has been charged that the State Department, under the Knox régime, exploited the situation in Central America for the benefit of American capitalists, and that the Wilson administration has for years maintained a minority party in power through the presence of a body of American marines at the capital and a warship at Corinto.
You see, we could not go back to Tegucigalpa until the steamer arrived which is to take us South of Panama and we could not go to Manaqua either and for the same reason that we had sent back our mule train and we would not wait in Amapala partly because of fever which had been there and partly because we wanted to get to Corinto where they have ice and to see Manaqua.
You're only going to jail. I'll report the matter to our consul at Corinto, and he'll tell our minister." "Corinto!" I replied. "I'll be dead before you've passed that lighthouse." The Captain roared with anger. "Can't you hear what he says," he shouted. "He says he'll fire on my ship. They've fired on our ships before!
"How far is it to Corinto, please?" he asked. "Fifty miles." "Whew! So far as that?" "Yes. Belong to the show?" "Well, not exactly. I'm with them, but I can't say that I belong to the outfit, and I'm glad I don't." "Should think you would be glad," growled the switchman, who evidently held the Sully combination in no high regard. "Which way do the trains go for Corinto?" "That way.
The plowed land is now as smooth and level as the acres at Corinto in Colombia, south of the Canal. The harbor at Puntarenas, as I mentioned earlier, would make a splendid base of operations for an enemy fleet. Not far from shore are the flat, level acres of the "experimental station" and the twenty-one Japanese who could quickly turn these smooth acres into an air base.
