Do me the favor to tell them to make haste." "Certainly, señor coronel. Adios, señores." "Adio señores." And with that we rode on our respective ways. "Two troopers and prisoner," said Carmen, thoughtfully.
After a long stare at Knowlton he looked at McKay, at Tim, and finally at José. A frown grew on his face. And the Americans, following his look at the Peruvian, were surprised to see that José himself was staring blankly at the speaker. "José Martinez!" snapped the coronel, leveling a finger pistollike at the puntero. "What devil's game are you working now?"
Perhaps he accepted the invitation all the more readily as he was informed by his employer that he had two daughters that would like to make his acquaintance. The first voyage was to Coronel and back with coal to Iquique. Mr.
On the contrary, as he approached the cuartel, he saw strange sights, and heard sounds corresponding. Everything was in confusion soldiers rushing to and fro, uttering seditious cries.

"I wish his kitchen were a little nearer the lines," replied the other, with a wink. "Senor Coronel, permit me " "What is it, my dear Don?" inquired the major. "Pasteles de Moctezuma." "Oh, certainly. I say, lads, I don't know what the plague I'm eating it's not bad to take, though." "Senor Coronel, allow me to help you to a guana steak."

The battle of the Falkland Islands, redeeming the defeat at Coronel, proved the wide range of action of fast cruisers based on European waters, while on the other hand the raids of the Emden proved the need of cruisers for defence on every sea; and the exploits of the Sydney, sister ship of Canada's unbuilt Bristols, ended all talk of tin-pot navies.
The British ships lined up abreast and proceeded in a northeasterly direction. The Germans took up the same alignment eight miles to the westward of the British ships and proceeded southward at full speed. Both forces opened fire at a distance of 12,000 yards shortly after six o'clock off Coronel near the coast of Chile. The Gneisenau was struck by a 9.2-inch shot from the Good Hope.
