Whereupon we turned back and proceeded to a little tiny stone chapel, little bigger than a dog house, the smallest affair in the shape of a church I had ever seen, about a pistol shot distant in the wood, where we found the two old ladies and Senor Justo's natural son engaged at their devotions.
El Senor Justo's fat dumpling of a brother thought medical advice ought to be taken, for when he was in Lima several seamen belonging to an English whaler had died, and he had remarked, the twaddling body, that they had invariably lost their appetites previous to their dissolution. But to return.

We arrived at Panama about three PM, covered to the eyes with mud, and after some little difficulty, I found out Senor Hombrecillo Justo's house, who received me very kindly. Next morning I waited on the Governor, made my bow and told him my errand.
These polished personages may be called Senor Justo's family, but it was occasionally increased by various others; none of whom, however, can I heave to to describe at present.
