"I knew you were getting settled in your house, and we've been tremendously busy at the office." "I began to think you were avoiding us." "You must know better than that." She regarded him shrewdly over her shoulder. "You're not still thinking of that night at Taboga? You haven't seemed the same since." He blushed, and nodded frankly. "I can't help thinking about it.
And these slopes were gayly colored with tiers of peak-roofed huts and houses, in pink and yellow and brown and blue and red. Along the beach were scores of white canoes. The people of Taboga, mostly negroes and mixed breeds, appeared to have nothing to do but loaf about and fish and eat and play. It was a sort of a resort place.
On board of this galleon were also the religious women, belonging to the nunnery of the said city, who had embarked with them all the ornaments of their church, consisting in great quantity of gold, plate, and other things of great value." This most royal prize was even then slowly dipping past Taboga, with her sea-sick holy folk praying heartily for the return of the water casks.
After Coxon's defection, Richard Sawkins was re-elected admiral, and continued in that command till his death some days later. Before they left Taboga, Captain Sharp went cruising to an island some miles distant to pick up some straggling drunkards who belonged to his ship.
Taboga Island would make a perfect base from which to study the waters and fortifications along the coast and the islands between the Canal and Taboga.
In about an hour stop was made at the equally famous Island of Taboga the most beautiful place, as seemed to Charley, in the world. It had a white beach; from the beach rose long slopes of green, shaded by bananas, palms, figs, plantains, oranges, limes every kind of tropical growth.
Ever since the day of his last ride with her, he had been tortured with the most unpleasant thoughts.

Therefore her open surrender, coming so unexpectedly had dumfounded him.
During the voyage to the Tierra Firma, the ship was set on fire by accident, by his sister who was accustomed to read in bed; and of the whole number on board, Alderete and three soldiers alone escaped to Porto Bello. Overcome with grief and disappointment at this melancholy catastrophe, Alderete died soon after in the small island of Taboga in the gulf of Panama.
"I used to think so." "I'm going to tell you the whole truth now without sparing myself. It began, I think, at Taboga, that night when he kissed me. It was the only time he ever did such a thing. It was dark, we were alone, I was frightened, and it was purely impulse on his part. But it woke me up, and all at once I knew how much he meant to me.
Captain Searles had sailed her over Panama Bay to the beautiful island of Taboga, in order to fill fresh water and rob the inhabitants. Here they took "the boatswain and most of the crew" of the Trinity, a Spanish galleon, "on board which were the Friers and Nuns, with all the old gentlemen and Matrons of the Town, to the number of 1500 souls, besides an immense Treasure in Silver and Gold."
