We may expect one of these days to hear of its having been taken down and coined into shining doubloons. From Madrid to Burgos. Through a Barren Country. The Cathedral of Burgos. Monastery of Miraflores. Local Pictures. A Spanish Inn. Convent of Las Huelgas. From Burgos to San Sebastian. Northern Spain. A Spanish Watering Place. Bayonne. Lower Pyrenees. Biarritz. A Basque Postilion.
In Cristobal police station I put badge and passes into a heavy envelope and dropped them into the train-guard's box; then turned in for my last night on the Zone. For the steamer already had her fires up that would bear me, and him who was the studious corporal of Miraflores, away in the morning to South America. My police days were ended.
They were instructed to keep a vigilant lookout during the night to prevent Miraflores from attempting to embark stealthily by means of some boat or sloop found by chance at the water's edge. A dozen patrols walked the streets of Coralio unsuspected, ready to intercept the truant official should he show himself there. Goodwin was very well convinced that no precautions had been overlooked.
Miraflores was a charming village, or rather small town, nestling among gardens and orchards. "I want to find a muleteer named Dias Otero," Harry said to their guide as they rode into the place. "I know him well," he said. "Everyone about here knows Dias. His wife was a cousin of my mother's." "Do you know whether he is at home now?" "Yes, senor; I saw him in Lima three days ago.
I have a little plan at the back of my mind which I hope to be able to put into execution and I will tell you what it is before you finally go aboard the Miraflores. Now, be as quick as you can, for there has been a good deal of firing during this action, and the Union may put in an appearance at any moment; and I do not wish to see her just yet."
The architectural effect of the interior is harmonious and beautiful, and was the work, or rather design, of Diego de Siloe, whose father was a famous sculptor, and, if we mistake not, was the author of that marvelous alabaster tomb at the convent of Miraflores, in Burgos.
Night closed down as we emerged from Miraflores tunnel; soon we swung around toward the houses, row upon row and all alight, climbed the lower slope of Ancon hill, and at seven I descended in familiar, cab-crowded, bawling Panama. It might be worth the ink to say a word about socialism on the Canal Zone. To begin with, there isn't any of course.
With a perspiration up for all day I set out along the track. Hounding Diablo Hill the realization that I was hungry came upon me simultaneously with the thought that unless I got through the door of Corozal hotel by 7:30 I was likely to remain so. Breakfast over, I caught the morning supply-train to Miraflores, there to dash through the locks for a five-minute interview.
As it is only eleven o'clock yet, there is no reason why we should not go to Miraflores. They will get mules for us at the hotel, and tell us which road to take." It was not necessary, however, to go into the hotel, for when they returned, two or three men with mules were waiting to be hired.
Now they know that you carry pistols, and are prepared for them, they will let you alone." "When we come back here, Dias, we will give you a brace of our pistols, and I trust you will carry them in your pocket ready for use after dark, whether you are in Lima or at Miraflores." "Thank you, senor.
