With this reply and a letter of the same purport for the governor, Don Luys Navarrete was dismissed. He was given a present for the governor consisting of lances, armor, and catans, considered rare and valuable by the Japanese. The ambassador thereupon left Miaco and went to Nangasaqui, whence by the first ship sailing to Manila, he sent word to Governor Don Francisco concerning his negotiations.
You will be more by yourself there. You'll like that, won't you?" "Yes, sir." "Going in in costume, today?" "No, sir. Mr. Sparling thought I had better wear my own clothes today, for advertising purposes." Miaco nodded understandingly. "Then you'll want to fix up again. Been in the gutter?" "I fell into a ditch in the darkness this morning," grinned Phil. "You'll get used to that. Mr.
For the time being the Japanese gave the Spaniards a good reception, but as to repairing the ship and leaving port again, the latter were given to understand that it could not be done without permission and license from Taicosama, the sovereign of Japon, who was at his court in Miaco, one hundred leguas from that port.
"Do you boys intend going on tonight?" Miaco demanded suddenly, turning on Teddy. "Certainly," answered Phil. "Then I should advise you to be getting into your makeups." "Why, what time is it?" "A quarter to eight." "Whew! Come on, Teddy."
You want to look out for these foreigners. Some of them are revengeful," cautioned Mr. Miaco. Signor Navaro was the leading performer in the flying-rings act. With him was his young son, Rodney Palmer and a young girl performer, whose father was a clown in the show. Phil shot a sharp glance at Mr. Miaco, then dropped his eyes. "I guess nobody would be jealous of me," laughed the lad.
"The rain barrel for him." "Men, do your duty!" cried Mr. Miaco. "I wouldn't do that," interposed Phil. "You haven't any more right to duck him than he had to put Teddy under the water tank. It isn't right." But they gave no heed to his protests. Willing hands grabbed the red-headed tentman, whose kicks and struggles availed him nothing.
I guess they stretched that yarn," grunted a new performer. "I guess not," interposed Mr. Miaco. "I happened to see that stunt pulled off myself. It was the biggest thing I ever saw a man let alone a boy get away with." Then Mr. Miaco went over the scene with great detail, while Phil stole away to his own corner, where he busied himself bending over his trunk to hide his blushes.
After the death of Taicosama in the year one thousand five hundred and ninety-nine, the five governors kept his son carefully watched in the fortress of Usaca, with the service and pomp due his person, while they remained at Miaco at the head of the government for some time.
The ambassadors who had been sent before to Miaco with the present, were unable to see Taico, although the present was accepted; nor did they succeed in making any profitable arrangement, although father Fray Pedro Baptista, superior of the Franciscan religious residing there, employed many methods for the purpose of remedying the grievance of the Spaniards.
Phil retired to the further end of the tent where his trunk had been placed in the meantime, and there took off his clothes, handing them to the head clown. Mr. Miaco tossed the lad a bath robe, for the morning was still chilly. "After you get broken in you will have to do all this for yourself. There's nothing like the show business to teach a fellow to depend upon himself.
