"Do you really think so?" asked Adrian. "I know it. We may have our little family troubles down here in Mexico, but if the United States should interfere, we'd all turn in and fight her." Billie was about to reply when Gen. Sanchez entered the room. "I see you have been reading the news," he said calmly. "And discussing it too," said Donald.
The bridge across the Camu River near La Vega has been washed away repeatedly and further trouble has been caused by the river changing its course. The journey from Sanchez to La Vega, including the side trip to San Francisco de Macoris, consumes five and a half hours.
He had planned to leave by the morning train; but as he continued to meditate over Strange's words he decided that, before going, he ought to advise Alaire of the fellow's suspicions in order that she might discharge José Sanchez and in other ways protect herself against his possible spite.
"By Senor Manuel?" his eyes staring at me from out a white face. "Yes, in connection with those fellows amidships. Does that passage lead to their quarters?" "It did once, Senor, but now there is a closed door. The Captain Sanchez had it so arranged to prevent the men from coming aft." "What kind of a door?" "Of oak, studded with iron, not only locked, but barred on this side." "You have no key?"
The aggressor was immediately seized by the general commanding the military forces in Sanchez and carried to the town cemetery, a grave was dug, and the general prepared to have him summarily shot. The town authorities interceded, but in vain, and the execution was about to take place when the ladies of the town succeeded in moving the commandant by their pleadings.
"Oh, you'll be glad, I'm betting!" was the answer, half-rueful, half-relieved, for somehow Strong had "taken to" the doctor's guest and to doubting his own. "Those galoots at McDowell let up on their watch, and 'Tonio's walked off 'gone where the woodbine twineth' 'Patchie Sanchez with him!"
Captain Sanchez is wounded and helpless, and those cut-throats amidships are battened down below hatches. LeVere and I are the officers left, and we control the deck. We had to fight it out, or likely it would be our turn next." "Yer mean those fellers were aimin' ter take the ship?" "Exactly that; now where are you lads? With Manuel and his bunch of pirates? Or with us?"
And there we had need of all our self-command, to conceal our joy in finding those gates open to us, which we had looked through so fondly when we were last here, and to spy Moll, in a stately gown, on the fine terrace before this noble house, carrying herself as if she had lived here all her life, and Don Sanchez walking very deferential by her side.
And upstairs we were forced to go, Don Sanchez and I, and there being stripped we were given such dirty foul rags and so grotesque, that when we came down, Jack Dawson and Moll fell a-laughing at us, as though they would burst.
Martin Pinzon would be captain of the Pinta and Vicente of the Nina. And there were Roderigo Sanchez of Segovia, Inspector-General of Armament, and Diego de Arana, chief alguazil of the expedition, and Roderigo de Escobedo, royal notary, and with these three or four young men of birth, adventuring for India now that the war with the Moor was done.
