The unfortunate wretch glanced enviously toward the pile of dead bodies, and a sigh escaped from his breast. "Speak now!" said the directorcillo again. "They will certainly drown you. At least, die without having suffered so much." "When you come out of this, you will die," said a cuaderillero. They took the gag out of his mouth and hung him by his feet.
"Take care of my sister!" the unhappy one murmured, looking at the cuaderillero, with supplication. The bamboo pole creaked again, and again the condemned man disappeared. Doña Consolacion observed that the water remained still. The alferez counted a minute. When Tarsilo came up again, his face was livid and his features contracted.
Doña Consolacion a number of times applied the lighted end of her cigar to the bare legs of Tarsilo, but his body did not quiver. It put out the light. "He has asphyxiated himself," murmured a cuaderillero. "See how his tongue is turned, as if he wanted to swallow it." The other prisoner, trembling and perspiring, contemplated the scene. Like a madman he looked about him.
I, too, am like you, but, for fear of harming an innocent one, I prefer to forget my misfortunes." "You can forget them because you are young, and because you have not lost your son, have not lost your last hope! But, I assure you, I will not harm an innocent person. Do you see that wound? I allowed myself to receive that in order not to kill a poor cuaderillero who was fulfilling his duty."
