Reaching the coast of America, we were joined by another bark, belonging to the Isle of Wight; and now, having obtained the friendship of a tribe of natives, the Cimarrones, we considered ourselves sufficiently strong to attack the town of Nombre de Dios, where we expected to obtain a rich booty; but, disappointed in this, led by one of our dark-skinned allies, we resolved to intercept the mules bringing treasure from Panama to the aforesaid place.
Who was that person that was so abused some time since for saying that in the conflict of two races our sympathies naturally go with the higher? No matter who he was. Now look at what is going on in India, a white, superior "Caucasian" race, against a dark-skinned, inferior, but still "Caucasian" race, and where are English and American sympathies?
And so expert are these dark-skinned natives of the western prairies, that they will creep into the midst of an enemy's camp, cut the lariats and hobbles of several horses, spring suddenly on their backs, and gallop away. They not only steal from white men, but tribes that are at enmity steal from each other, and the boldness with which they do this is most remarkable.
And now, shortly, time was to put the seal of truth upon it, and daze him with astonishment, and fill him with regret of his cunning.

The rider was a young man of twenty or over; and his light curling hair and white-red complexion distinguished him from all his competitors who were, without exception, dark-skinned men.
His lean face was in no way disturbed. He seemed quite indifferent to his losses. "I'll quit you, Pedro," he said, smiling lazily down at the Mexican. "You're a bit too hot for me to-day." The dark-skinned man smiled a vague, non-committing smile and displayed a double row of immaculate teeth. "Good. You shall have your revenge.
