"See here," said the ragdealer, "you come along with me. I need a boy ... I'll feed you." Manuel looked at the man without replying. "Well, do you want to or not? Hurry up and decide." Manuel lazily arose. The rag man, sack slung across his shoulder, climbed the slope of the embankment until he reached Rosales Street, where he had a cart drawn by two donkeys.
Wilcox and Sargent naïvely makes the statement that: "The tourists were provided at Rosales by order of Aguinaldo with a military escort, 'which was continued by relays all the way to Aparri." It certainly was! Very little Spanish was then spoken in Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela or Cagayan.
He sought shelter in a doorway that was somewhat protected from the rain and huddled down to sleep. It was still night when he awoke shivering with the cold, trembling from head to foot. He started to run so as to warm himself; he reached the Paseo de Rosales and strode up and down several times. It seemed that the night would never end.
Mr. Rosales then tells his readers, what we all know must be the case, that the gold would be volatilised by the heat, as would be also the other metals, which he says, were in the form of arseniurets and sulphurets; but he fails to explain how the sublimated metals afterwards reassumed their metallic form.
Laughing, I looked round, and saw that the Don was returning, sure enough. He hurried up, holding out a large sheet of parchment. "Well, Senor, what's this?" I inquired. "No soy Mexicano soy Espanol!" Casting my eye carelessly over the document, I perceived that it was a safeguard from the Spanish consul at Vera Cruz, certifying that the bearer, Don Cosme Rosales, was a native of Spain.
With his eyes narrowed to a slit he could make out the arches of the Almudena church just above a wall; beyond rose the Royal Palace, a glittering white, the sandy clearings of the Principe Pio with its long red barracks, and the row of houses on the Paseo de Rosales, their panes aglow with the sunlight.
"Senor Rosales," said I, returning the paper, "this was not necessary. The interesting circumstances under which we have met should have secured you good treatment, even were you a Mexican and we the barbarians we have been represented. We have come to make war, not with peaceful citizens, but with a rabble soldiery." You are wet, Senor? you are hungry?"
Rosales considered was due to heat, it should be remembered that these rocks in their original state were much softer and more readily fusible than the quartz, consequently all would have been molten and mingled together instead of showing as a rule clearly defined walls.
His essay, which is very ingenious and cleverly written, obtained a prize which the Government had offered, but probably Mr. Rosales himself would not adduce the same arguments in support of the volcanic or igneous theory to-day.
I could not deny that I was both the one and the other. "You need refreshment, gentlemen; will you come to my house?" "Permit me, Senor, to introduce you to Major Blossom Lieutenant Clayley Lieutenant Oakes: Don Cosme Rosales, gentlemen." My friends and the Don bowed to each other. The major had now recovered his complacency. "Vamonos, caballeros!"
