"Why the devil couldn't he have chosen Ross-Ellison's company," thought Colonel Dearman, as he saluted and lifted up his voice and cried aloud: "Captain Rozario! March 'G' Company out for some company-drill. Remainder stand easy." To the first cold stroke of fright succeeded the hot flush of rage as Captain Rozario saw the absurdity of ordering him to march his company out for company drill.
"Kindly order that mob to disperse before it is fired on, will you, Colonel? They can go home and stay there," said he. Captain Rozario was a man of sensibility and he openly wept. No one could call this a good beginning nor could they have called the ensuing battalion-drill a good ending. "Put the remainder of the battalion through some simple movements if they know any," requested the General.
Again Captain Rozario seized the situation and acted promptly and resourcefully. "Halt!" he squeaked, and "G" Company halted in form an oblate spheroid. Some of its members removed their helmets and the sweat of their brows, some re-fastened bootlaces and putties or unfastened restraining hooks and buttons. One gracefully succumbed to his exertions and fainting fell, with an eye upon the General.
The silence growing tenser, Colonel Dearman said encouragingly but firmly: "Do something, Captain Rozario". Captain Rozario did something. He drew his whistle. He blew it. He replaced it in his pocket. Seven obliging volunteers darted forward to retrieve it. "May we expect the evolutions this evening, Colonel?" inquired General Murger politely.
Sand. "There there now; he shall have his bottle, so he shall!" "A beautiful meeting. Abraham Lincoln White, the Savannah negro, you know, came as a believer for the first time, and so did Miss Rozario from Whiteaway and Laidlaw's. We had such a happy time." "What sort of collection?" Laura opened a knotted handkerchief and counted out some copper coins. "Only seven annas three pice!
Fe, real mountains. From these inequalities there is an abundance of small rivulets, and the turf is green and luxuriant. We crossed the Rozario, which was deep and rapid, and passing the village of Colla, arrived at mid-day at Colonia del Sacramiento. The distance is twenty leagues, through a country covered with fine grass, but poorly stocked with cattle or inhabitants.
Before arriving at Rozario, we crossed the Saladillo, a stream of fine clear running water, but too saline to drink. Rozario is a large town built on a dead level plain, which forms a cliff about sixty feet high over the Parana. The river here is very broad, with many islands, which are low and wooded, as is also the opposite shore.
There is a limit to all enterprise and the march of "G" Company was stayed by a high wall. Then Captain Rozario had an inspiration. "About turn," he shrieked and "G" Company about turned as one man, if not in one direction. The march of "G" Company was stayed this time by the battalion into which it comfortably nuzzled.
The real grandeur, however, of an immense river like this, is derived from reflecting how important a means of communication and commerce it forms between one nation and another; to what a distance it travels, and from how vast a territory it drains the great body of fresh water which flows past your feet. For many leagues north and south of San Nicolas and Rozario, the country is really level.
