One contingent crossed the Pecos at an Indian trail about twenty-five miles below Horsehead, another still below, while the third continued on down the left bank of the river. Yankee Bill and "Mocho" Wilson, a one-armed man, followed the latter trail, sighting them late in the evening, but keeping well in the open.
After Navamorquende, the government of Chili was administered successively to the end of the seventeenth century, by Don Miguel de Silva, Don Jose de Carrera, and Don Thomas Marin de Proveda, by all of whom a good understanding appears to have been kept up with the Araucanians: But in 1686, war had nearly been again occasioned with that nation, in consequence of removing the inhabitants of the island of Mocho to the north shore of the Biobio, in order to prevent any intercourse with foreign ships.
No, no let's have no humbug here, drink your coffee like a man, and then hustle your purse and see what it will produce. Why, even Betsey's laughing at the idea of your living upon fish. Jorrocks. This is grand Mocho quite the cordial balm of Gilead werry fine indeed. Now I feel rewived and can listen to you. Yorkshireman.
No man is fonder of eating than myself, but I don't like to pay by the mouthful, or yet to drink tea at so much a thimbleful. By the way, Sar, if you are not previously engaged, I should be werry happy to supply you with red Mocho or best Twankay at a very reasonable figure indeed for cash? Stranger. Thank you, sir, thank you.
"All right, José, then listen: Are there any horses here?" The old man's eyes held a gleam of intelligence. "Cavallo, señor. One, two, t'ree horse over heel." "Oh, over the hill, are they?" said Jack to himself, then aloud: "You come and show them to me." "Mocho easy to find," protested the Mexican. Jack smiled to himself. He had been right, then. The old man was trying to trick him.
Wilson was mounted on a good horse, while Yankee Bill rode a mule, and so closely were they pursued, that on reaching the first broken ground Bill turned into a coulee, while Mocho bore off on an angle, firing his six-shooter to attract the enemy after him.
