A Spaniard, who was one of the principal owners of the Josefa's cargo, happened to be standing beside me in the lookout; at every shot, he would, with a face of the most intense anxiety, while the perspiration hailed off his brow, slap his hands on his thighs, and shrink down on his hams, cowering his head at the same time, as if the shot had been aimed at him, and he was trying to shun it, apostrophizing himself, with an agitated voice, as follows: "Valga me Dios, que demonio, que demonio!
Perhaps he dared not shift his head the only movement that was in his power. "I reached up to the very angels in the inspiration of my song," he droned, "and would be called a demon on earth. Manuel el Demonio. And now precipitated alive.... Nothing less. There is a greatness in me. Let some dew fall upon my lips." He moaned from the very bottom of his heart. His teeth chattered.
Demonio! asesino! ladron! They would all be glad to see him seated in the chair of the "garrote." No "buen Catolico" would have acted as he had done no one but a sinful "heretico" a blood-loving "Americano"! How he would be punished when caught!

You belong to me and I sha'n't consult you " She turned, for a figure had darkened the door; it was one of her English-speaking convalescents who was acting as a sort of orderly. "Senorita," the man said, with a flash of white teeth, "we have another sick man, and you'd never guess who. It is that American, El Demonio " "Mr. Branch?" "Si! The very same. He has just come from the front."
