He said the same to Rodrigo Sanchez of Segovia, who had been sent by the king and queen as inspector in the fleet, but he saw nothing, being indeed in a place where he could see nothing. "After the Admiral spoke of it, the light was seen once or twice. It was like a wax candle, raised and lowered, which would appear to few to be a sign of land.
Fairfax stroked his chin, his eyes shifting from the distant vessel to Dorothy and Sanchez who were now making their way slowly aft, the latter grasping the girl's arm, and smirking as he talked rapidly. "By God! but I believe you are right," he admitted frankly, "although it had not occurred to me before. There is something wrong there.
Then there was a mock encounter, in which the warriors unhorsed each other, as knights of the olden time. It was, in fact, a magnificent spectacle a grand hippodrome of the desert; but I had no eyes for it. It had more attraction for Sanchez. I saw that he was observing every new feat with interested attention. All at once he became restless.
"What makes it more distressing," said Raymond, joining one of the groups, "is, that it appears the Doctor visited Mrs. Saltonstall last evening, and left the casa at eleven. Sanchez, who was perhaps the last person who saw him alive, says that he noticed his horse was very violent, and the Doctor did not seem able to control him.

It seemed as if he had been born with the power to use the brush, and the young girl watched his progress with unfeigned pleasure.
His heart beating with new happiness, yet conscious of the stern duty still confronting him, Keith joined the others, giving them, in a whisper, a hurried account of Hope's release from the cabin, and of what she had to report. "It's old Juan Sanchez in the front room, boys," he added soberly, "and there is ten thousand dollars reward out for him, dead or alive."
