Of course I am a Pariah now; but Pariah as I am, I shall be as good as any one else in Guatemala. You have seen Everett since he has been in town, perhaps?" "Yes; I have seen him." "I hope they won't quarrel with Everett because of what I have done. I have felt that more than all, that both papa and he have suffered because of it. Do you know, I think people are hard.
Steam-engines, therefore, are fabricated; cannon are cast; railroads are in preparation; broadcloth is weaving; flax is growing; lace is in progress, all through the kingdom, for the new colony of Guatemala, whose only inhabitants are little grateful for the profound solicitude they are exciting, inasmuch as, being but rats and sea-gulls, their modes of living and thinking give them a happy indifference about steam-travelling, and the use of fine linen.
In one place the connection broke, but the fragments still remain, and we call them the West Indies or Antilles. In other places the material was too tough. Mexico thins out southwards as though it were going to end in the sea, and Central America is stretched like a wrung-out cloth. Between Guatemala and Honduras it is almost torn through, and the large lake of Nicaragua is another weak point.
On December 21, 1937, Baron von Merck flew to Guatemala the same day that a cargo of arms from Germany was to be landed off the wild jungle coast of Campeche in Southern Mexico. Guatemala, just south of Mexico, is the most thoroughly organized fascist country in Central or South America.
"You can answer my question though your geography is deficient." "He has said nothing about your going anywhere." "You will have to go, as soon after Christmas as you may be fit." "But where is Guatemala; and for how long, Ferdinand?" "Guatemala is in Central America, and we shall probably settle there for the rest of our lives. I have got nothing to live on here."
"Through our affiliation with the Mercantile Bank of the Americas and its connections, we cover Peru, Northern Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and other South and Central American countries." "Through the American Mercantile Bank of Cuba, at Havana, we cover direct Cuba and the West Indies."
In a dispatch to the Nicaraguan chargé, December 1, 1909, Secretary Knox said: Since the Washington conventions of 1907, it is notorious that President Zelaya has almost continuously kept Central America in tension or turmoil; that he has repeatedly and flagrantly violated the provisions of the conventions, and, by a baleful influence upon Honduras, whose neutrality the conventions were to assure, has sought to discredit those sacred international obligations, to the great detriment of Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala, whose governments meanwhile appear to have been able patiently to strive for the loyal support of the engagements so solemnly undertaken at Washington under the auspices of the United States and Mexico.
On one occasion, when the Zebra was off the coast of Guatemala in Central America, my father, having obtained a boat from the commander, left the ship, taking with him Dicky Duff, and their constant attendant, Paul Lobo, an African seaman, and a crew of six men.
Pumas, doubtless, are scarce in Guatemala; and, as in other places where they have met with nothing but persecution from man, they are shy of him; but had this adventure occurred on the pampas, where they are better known, the person concerned in it would not have said that the puma played with him as a cat with a mouse, but rather as a tame cat plays with a child; nor, probably, would he have been terrified into imagining that the animal, even after its caresses had met with so rough a return, was about to spring on him.
