She was a four-decker, called the Santissima Trinidad.
She too, had left a heart in the vaults of the cathedral. The edge of the heavy cloak drawn over her head concealed her face from me, and, with her face, her ignorance, her great doubts, her great fears. I heard, above the crackling of dry wood, a husky exclamation of surprise, and then a startled voice exclaiming: "Look! Santissima Madre! What is this?"
Only a few of the latter, till Hamersley, withdrawing himself from the arms that softly entwine him, tells of his intention to part. "For what purpose?" is the interrogatory, asked in tremulous accents, and with eyes that speak painful surprise. "To redress my wrongs and yours, Adela," is the response firmly spoken. "Santissima!" she exclaims, seeing her lover prepare to spring into the saddle.
In seven hours the deluge and the hurricane!" "Vamos, por la Santissima! For the blessed Virgin's sake let us be gone!" cried a dozen of the Mexicans, pushing two green boughs into our very faces. "What are those branches?" "From the tempest-tree the prophet of the storm," was the reply.
Admiral Collingwood led the southern, and got into action first, just astern of the `Santa Anna. We steered so as to pass between the `Bucentaur' and the `Santissima Trinidade.

So where was the use of his Latin?"

"Yes," said I; "they are playing with one of my comrades, as they did yesterday with myself." "Ah, mio amigo! that is an old game of the Arapahoes.

How shall we meet inquiry? Santissima Donna! why did I not risk it, and climb out like the maid? It was terrible for the moment, but the worst would have been over, and now "
Something seemed to have given way in him, like a badly built wall. 'What are we doing, my God, Santissima Madonna! he cried in an unexpectedly high pipe, and he clutched at his head.
