Bartholomew Columbus immediately put himself at the head of a large and well-armed party for this purpose, and Bartolomeo Fieschi, the Genoese captain of one of the lost caravels, volunteered to accompany Mendez in a second canoe.
You hear what I say, Quilt?" he added, looking at Jack. "I do," replied Sheppard. "Abraham Mendez will like the task, for he has entertained a hatred to the memory of Thames Darrell ever since he received the wound in the head, when the two lads attempted to break out of St. Giles's round-house. I've despatched him to the New Prison. But I expect him back every minute."
On mud banks we saw the crocodile, "cayman" they call it. Again the sky hung a low, gray roof; a thin wind whistled, but for all that it was deathly hot. Seeing no men, we sent two boats with Diego Mendez up the stream. They were not gone a half league, when, watching from the Consolacion we marked a strange and horrid thing. There came without wind a swelling of the sea.
The cacique attempted to get loose, but was firmly held in the iron grasp of the Adelantado. Being both men of great muscular power, a violent struggle ensued. Don Bartholomew, however, maintained the mastery, and Diego Mendez and his companions coming to his assistance, Quibian was bound hand and foot.
He then briefly told her how he had killed the officer of the Inquisition who had tried to apprehend him. "But the priest, Father Mendez; surely he can aid us?" said Hilda. "Unless you can show him that by his aiding you he can advance the object for which alone he lives, he will stir neither hand nor foot in the cause," answered the Spanish captain.
"Some tin soldier," he said sneeringly, "that's a feller I always wanted ter kick, an' some day I'm a goin' ter do it." "You heard what he said?" "Sure; he was tellin' yer 'bout old Mendez being a Mexican revolutionary leader down in Mex, wa'n't he? Hell of a leader he is!
He reaches Assuncion though not till the third day after and there gets his broken bones set. But for Gaspar Mendez, there may have been luck in that shoulder-blade being put out of joint. After passing the biscachera, the trackers have not proceeded far, when Caspar again reins up with eyes lowered to the ground.
Perhaps they hoped, if Gaspar remained unmarried, to inherit his property themselves; but however that may be, their opposition was of no avail, and an early period was fixed for the wedding. The year had now come round to the summer season again, and it happened, by mere accident, that the day appointed for the marriage was the anniversary of that on which Mendez had been robbed and wounded.
Sheppard, so that if the blow had been stricken she must have received it. "Quilt! Mendez! Where are you?" vociferated Wild, sounding his whistle for the third time. "You call in vain," rejoined Thames. "Your assistants are in my power. Yield, villain!" "Never!" replied Jonathan. "Put down your burthen, monster!" shouted Wood, pointing an immense blunderbuss at him.
The ocean wanderers were turned into a fort. Jamaica, we thanked all the saints, was a friendly land. They brought us cassava and fruit, these Indians; they swarmed about us in their canoes. The gods in trouble, yet still the gods! We were forty leagues from Hispaniola, and we had no ship! Again there volunteered Diego Mendez. We ourselves had now but one Christian boat.
