Captain Bunker stood near the bitts, where his brief orders were transmitted to the man at the almost useless wheel. At his side Senor Perkins beamed with unshaken serenity, and hopefully replied to the captain's half surly, half anxious queries. "By the chart we should be well east of Los Lobos island, d'ye see?" he said impatiently.
Meanwhile competition in the matter of inspection had been carefully nursed. Conscious of each other's presence, and both equally anxious for the fee, the one deputy was entertained at my camp and the other at Los Lobos.

These seemed to belong to the islands of Japan or to China, as the people said that their country was within thirty days sail .
