"You have lost one and gained another, who will serve you with equal skill, since I know very well the road to Jiguani." "Of course you must know it," replied Ridge. "How stupid of me not to remember! and, as we can take turns at riding my horse, we shall doubtless get along all right."
But the guerilla, who had determined to possess himself of Ridge's horse and rifle, did dare do that very thing. Thus, when at the forking of the roads the order was given as proposed, and Ridge started to obey it, the captain whipped out a pistol, and declared that the stranger must accompany him into Jiguani for examination before the authorities.
"Shouldn't have come at all but for my promise, and a recollection that I was a prisoner of war on parole, since I learned at Jiguani that Enramada was occupied by the insurgents." "But I have a pass for you from Garcia himself."
He suggested as much to his companion, but the latter only smiled, and said: "What matters it, so long as we are safely escorted to Jiguani?" "But I don't want to go there." "True. I had forgotten. You wish to proceed to Enramada, where I am to join you." "Yes, on the second day from now." "With only slight delay we might travel together." "I have reasons for preferring to go alone."
The longest is the Cauto, in the eastern department, which, rising in the Sierra del Cobre, passes between Holguin and Jiguani, and empties on the south coast a little north of Manzanillo. It is navigable for half its length, between fifty and sixty leagues. The river Ay has falls in its course two hundred feet high, and a natural bridge spanning it, nearly as remarkable as that of Virginia.
My orders are to communicate directly with the Spanish commanders at Holguin and Jiguani, and I shall certainly attempt to carry them out, since the first lesson taught every American soldier is that of absolute and unquestioning obedience to orders."
