It would be, in truth, as if a part of the fazenda of Iquitos had been cut away from the bank and carried down the Amazon with all that composed the family of the fazender masters and servants, in their dwellings, their cottages, and their huts. The settlement of Iquitos included a part of those magnificent forests which, in the central districts of South America, are practically inexhaustible.
I have the honour to enclose to your Excellency, two hundred and sixty obligations seized under the orders of His Imperial Majesty dated the 11th December, 1822 which I request you will be pleased to cause to be laid before the Junta of Fazenda, together with the papers enclosed, in order that the Junta may take the necessary steps to the liquidation of the just and moderate claims of the officers and seamen.
In short, ten years after the arrival of Joam Garral at the farm at Iquitos the fazenda had become one of the richest establishments on the Upper Amazon. Thanks to the good management exercised by the young clerk over the works at home and the business abroad, its prosperity daily increased. The Portuguese did not wait so long to acknowledge what he owed to Joam Garral.
His father, Gidi Mavunga, knelt before him on the ground, a mat being forbidden in the presence: he made the "batta-palmas" before he addressed his "filho de pistola," as he called him, in opposition to filho de fazenda. The "king" had lately been crowned in virtue of his mother being a uterine sister of his predecessor.
Garral," said he, "from the day when you received me at the fazenda of Iquitos, lodged, clothed, fed in a word, took me in so hospitably I have owed you " "You owe me absolutely nothing, my friend," answered Joam, "so do not insist " "Oh, do not be alarmed!" exclaimed Fragoso, "I am not going to pay it off!
"And so, when we first met Torres in the forest of Iquitos, his plan had already been formed to enter into communication with my father?" "There cannot be a doubt of it," replied Manoel. "The scoundrel was on his way to the fazenda with the idea of consummating a vile scheme of extortion which he had been preparing for a long time."
What was the fellow doing in the neighborhood of the fazenda when we met him in the forest of Iquitos? Why did he then refuse the hospitality which we offered, so as to afterward manage to force himself on us as our traveling companion? We arrive at Tabatinga, and there he is as if he was waiting for us! The probability is that these meetings were in pursuance of a preconceived plan.
Fazenda is equivalent to our word "plantation." Kabi is African grass, which is planted all over the Brazils, as grass never grows there of its own accord. It is very high and reed-like. All through Brazil, carna secca is one of the principal articles of food, both for whites and blacks.
A few years ago a cow died at this Fazenda, in consequence of having drunk some of it. Senhor Figuireda told me that he had planted, the year before, one bag of feijao or beans, and three of rice; the former of which produced eighty, and the latter three hundred and twenty fold.
"Greatly prospering." "How long ago did you leave your fazenda?" "About nine weeks." "Why?" "The responsibility of taking into Para a large raft, and a cargo of different products of the Amazon." "Ah! and what was the real motive of your departure?" And in asking this question Jarriquez said to himself: "Now we shall get into denials and falsehoods."
