Can’t be easy for him to git them, neither." "Not here, no," Teodoro agreed. "But south, that is different. There is big trouble in Mexico—this French emperor fights Juarez, so there is much confusion. In wartime guns can be lost. A party of soldiers are cut off, as was Coronel Oliveri almost—men can be killed. But a gun—it is not buried with a man.
With a little difficulty José drew his arm from the sling, balanced his left elbow on the chair arm, and poised the violin. A half smile showed in the eyes of the coronel as he glanced at his guests. He, and they as well, expected a discordant, uncouth attempt to scrape out some obscene ditty of the frontier.
You ought to have a clearer comprehension in the brisk, bright atmosphere of this upland plain. It should make your brain more active." "Well, Coronel mio, you're the first man I ever saw on the way to make a prisoner who desired to meet resistance. Carrambia! I can't understand that." "I don't desire to make any prisoner at least, not Don Valerian Miranda.
You will say to their Highnesses that Coronel is a man for the service of their Highnesses in many things, and how much service he has rendered up to the present in all the most necessary matters, and the need we feel of him now that he is sick; and that rendering service in such a manner, it is reasonable that he should receive the fruit of his service, not only in future favours, but in his present salary, so that he and those who are here may feel that their service profits them; because, so great is the labour which must be performed here in gathering the gold that the persons who are so diligent are not to be held in small consideration; and as, for his skill, he was provided here by me with the office of Alguacil Mayor of these Indies; and since in the provision the salary is left blank, you will say that I supplicate their Highnesses to order it filled in with as large an amount as they may think right, considering his services, confirming to him the provision I have given him here, and assuring it to him annually.
Pedro contemplated the opposite wall, taking occasional puffs from his cigarette. At length Knowlton suggested, tentatively: "We will pay well " Both the bushmen frowned. The coronel spoke in a tone of mild reproof: "Senhor, it is not a matter of pay. These men can make plenty of money as seringueiros." "Pardon," said Knowlton, and thereafter held his tongue.
Yet I have never known this foolishness to fail to turn out well. He and I will go over to-night and see what we may see." The captain's brows drew together. Flat insubordination! Then he remembered that these men were not subordinates at all; remembered also what Coronel Nunes said concerning their ability to get into and out of dangerous situations. When Knowlton sided with them he capitulated.
Slowly the state of things improved, and in 1829 in the yearly report to the Mexican government, it was stated that there were eleven primary schools in the province with three hundred and thirty-nine boys and girls. One of the best of these schools was that of Don Ignacio Coronel of Los Angeles. In 1846 the first American school was opened at Santa Clara by Mrs. Oliver Mann Isbell.
Stand here under the shelter, then." "Hot as thunder!" growled the major, wiping the perspiration from his broad, red cheeks. "In five minutes, Senor Coronel, you will be chilled. At this point the heated atmosphere is now compressed. Patience! it will soon be scattered." "How long will the storm continue?" I asked. "Por Dios!
Without the Canopus, the British had perhaps a slight advantage in squadron speed, but only the two 9.2-inch guns of the Good Hope could match the sixteen 8.2-inch guns of the Germans. Each side had information of the other's strength; but on the afternoon of November 1, the date of the Battle of Coronel, each supposed that only one enemy cruiser was in the immediate vicinity.
He thought you were dead, and came up and told us; and we brought you here on a stretcher, and the Señor Coronel sent for a doctor " "The Señor Coronel! Do you mean Mr. Fortescue?" "Yes, sir, I mean Mr. Fortescue." "Then you are Ramon?" "Hijo de Dios! You know my name." "Yes, you are Mr. Fortescue's body-servant." "Caramba! Somebody must have told you."
