The Patagonians brought the canoe right up to the looming side of the old bark, and as she dipped deep in the sea, I sprang up and "walked up" her side, clinging to the rope with both hands. So they got me inboard with merely a dash of saltwater to season my venture. The canoe wore off sharply and I turned to wave good-bye to Pedro and the paddlers.
Like Satan, he comes from going to and fro upon the earth and walking up and down in it. To-morrow morning while you are cracking your breakfast egg he may be off with his little alligator grip to boom a town site in the middle of Lake Okeechobee or to trade horses with the Patagonians.
"Pilot tell Captain they sell me for slave in South Carolina. I'd jump overboard 'fore I suffer him," said he. "Oh, poh! don't be a fool; you a'n't among Patagonians, Manuel; you won't have to give 'em leg for your life. They don't sell foreigners and outlandish men like you for slaves in Carolina it's only black folks what can't clothe the'r words in plain English.
"But you've got a book to write already about the Patagonians," objected Frank. "Bless me, so I have," exclaimed the absent-minded old man. "However that can wait. A Viking flea would be a novelty indeed." At this moment loud tramplings on the deck overhead and shouts apprised them that something out of the ordinary must be occurring.
"That would be of little use to us," was the reply, "the Patagonians are mounted and by this time they have got such a start on us that we could never hope to catch up to them on foot." "Not on foot," put in Frank quietly, "but there is another way." "What do you mean, boy?" "That we can assemble the Golden Eagle in a couple of hours if you will give us the men to help."
But he swears the Patagonians will never catch him on their shores again, for he says he doesn't believe in making 'drum-head of man-skin," said the Captain, evidently with the intention of affecting the mate's feelings, and drawing his mind from its dark forebodings.

The Chaymas are almost without beard on the chin, like the Tungouses, and other nations of the Mongol race. Such are, in North America, the Chippewas visited by Mackenzie, and the Yabipaees, near the Toltec ruins at Moqui, with bushy beards; in South America, the Patagonians and the Guaraunos. Among these last are some who have hairs on the breast.
Frank had by this time put the muffler in operation and throttled down the engine so that the aeroplane swung in lazy circles above the Patagonians, entirely unnoticed by them. While they gazed the boys saw a figure led from a rude tent by several of the Patagonians, of whom there seemed to be two or three hundred in the camp.
"No," replied McNabbs, "and wouldn't give a Scotch pound-note for the information." "You shall hear it, however, Major Indifferent. Though Magellan called the natives Patagonians, the Fuegians called them Tiremenen, the Chilians Caucalhues, the colonists of Carmen Tehuelches, the Araucans Huiliches; Bougainville gives them the name of Chauha, and Falkner that of Tehuelhets.
