The old fellow owns a volandra in which he brings charcoal from the eastward twice a month." There was a moment of silence; then O'Reilly said, slowly, as if hesitating even to voice such a suggestion, "You mean he might take us out of here on his schooner?" "Who knows? He's not a bad old fellow and he likes me. But there would be no place for women." "How well does he like you?"
I come here to cure my lungs, and I want you to help me do it." O'Reilly stared at the man in surprise. "How can I help you?" he asked. "By taking me with you." "With me? Where?"

The Duke of Sussex has lent the King an easy chair, and affectionate messages have passed between them. The Bishop of Chichester is now at Windsor, the Lord and Groom and Equerry in waiting, two physicians, besides O'Reilly and Sir Wathen Waller and Knighton. When they told the King they must make a puncture in about four hours, he desired it might be made at once if it was necessary.
Maximo Gomez, father of patriots, bulwark of the Cuban cause, was seated in a hammock, reading some letters; O'Reilly recognized him instantly from the many pictures he had seen. Gomez was a keen, wiry old man; the color of his swarthy, sun-bitten cheeks was thrown into deeper relief by his snow-white mustache and goatee.

Lighting his candle, he made a careful examination of the place, with the result that Esteban's theory of the missing riches seemed even less improbable than it had earlier in the day.
Branch stalked the hotel lobby like a restless wraith. O'Reilly was furious. Of the entire party Ramos alone maintained an unruffled pleasantry; he spent the evening in Miss Evans's company, quite oblivious to the general feeling of dismay.
