These troops possessed the island for about eighteen months, but on the approach of the expedition under Penn and Venables were ordered by the Conde de Penalva, President of S. Domingo, to demolish the fort, bury the artillery and other arms, and retire to his aid in Hispaniola.
Tell me a little about finer things than zoophytes perhaps about the zoophytes as well and you shall still be brave old Death, my good camp-comrade now for many a year." Was Major Campbell mad? That depends upon the way in which the reader may choose to define the adjective. Meanwhile Scoutbush had walked into Penalva Court where an affecting scene of reconciliation took place? Not in the least.
But it is difficult, again, to conceive that those errors were altogether unforeseen by many an officer of Campbell's experience and thoughtfulness. "We will talk no more of it just now." And they walked up to Penalva Court, seriously enough. "Well, Scoutbush, any letters from town?" said the Major. "Yes." "You have heard what has happened at D Barracks?" "Yes."
Just of Penalva did grant privileges hard to spell, and harder to understand, on the condition of receiving, whensoever he should land at the quay head, three brass farthings from the "free fishermen of Aberalva." Scoutbush shakes hands with curate, Lieutenant, Tardrew, churchwardens; and then come forward the three farthings, in an ancient leather purse.

"You can depend upon my tact." Colonel Grant rose. "In this matter of Penalva, I will consider further. But I do not think there is anything to be done now. The main thing is to stop up the outlets through which information reaches the French, and that is my chief concern. How is the stripping of the country proceeding now?" "It was more active immediately after Souza left the Government.
Now, as we stood on the brink of the flowing water, which had a width of about two hundred yards at that spot when the river had overflowed its banks, one of my elder brothers pointed to a long low house, thatched with rushes, about three-quarters of a mile distant on the other side of the stream, and informed me that it was the estancia house of Don Evaristo Penalva, who was one of the principal landowners in that part.
If I weren't poor I could put my fortunes to the test, and make an end of the matter one way or the other." There was a pause. "Sure I hope I am the last man to force a confidence, Ned," said O'Moy. "But you certainly seem as if it would do you good to confide." Tremayne shook himself mentally. "I think we had better deal with the matter of this dispatch that was tampered with at Penalva."
The most famous of the old gates is the "Puerta del Conde," "Gate of the Count," so called because it was constructed by the Count of Penalva, Governor of Santo Domingo, about 1655, though the bastion through which it leads is as old as the city wall.
The patriarchs, the grand old gaucho estancieros, I came to know, were scattered all over the land, but, with one exception, I did not know them intimately from childhood, and though I could fill this chapter with their portraits I prefer to give it all to the one I knew best, Don Evaristo Penalva, a very fine patriarch indeed.
