The guide was Manoel Reyes, who has already appeared in the 'Specialities of a Residence Above the Clouds. He is a small, wizen-faced man, quiet, self-contained, and fond exceedingly fond of having his own way. By dint of hard work we left the Fonda Gobea at 9 A.M. on March 23, with loud cries of 'Mulo! and 'Anda, caballo! and 'So-o-o! when the bat-beasts indulged in a free fight.

She won't be alongside for three hours yet.... As to them two, we've been dodging about all morning, but I reck'n we're about there now just about. So-o-o!" There was a roar and a huge splash beneath the stern of the Tremendous. A cold avalanche sluiced the boy. He staggered blindly back, something crashing on the deck about him.
"Approach me, Kit," said the Advance Agent, with gentle Voice. "Is tha-a-at so-o-o?" she asked. "I'll have you know, Smarty, my name ain't Kit. So There!" "Well, make it Genevieve," said the Advance Agent. "Come close and hold my Hand while I give you this Order.

But the man on his back spoke in an easy, calm voice, saying, "So-o-o! There, me b'y. Aisy wid ye.
I remember that another day so-o-o long passed behind the mist, and we were still in that dreadful, noisy, tiresome depot, with no change, till we went to spend the night at Herr Schidorsky's, because they wouldn't let us go anywhere else. On the way there, I remember, I saw something marvellous queer little wooden sticks stuck on the lines where clothes hung for some purpose.
We had also been taken for Finns, Russians and Danes, since leaving Stockholm. "I suppose you intend to buy lumber?" said the landlord. "No," said I, "we travel merely for the pleasure of it."
