There were limits even to his audacity "Well, how is my chief hydrographer progressing?" Courtenay's cheery voice banished the unwelcome specter of Ventana. Elsie started. "I do believe you were day-dreaming," said the captain with a surprised smile. "A penny for your thoughts?" "I don't think you can pay me," she retorted, hoping to cover her confusion. "Won't you accept Chilean currency?"
In a letter to Mr. Brazil, Bahia, gneiss with disjointed metamorphosed dikes. Strike of foliation. Rio de Janeiro, gneiss-granite, embedded fragment in, decomposition of. La Plata, metamorphic and old volcanic rocks of. S. Ventana. Claystone porphyry formation of Patagonia; singular metamorphic rocks; pseudo-dikes. Falkland Islands, Palaeozoic fossils of.
Bound up in it are my poor Isobel, that beast, Ventana, and a drunken coal-trimmer. An odd assortment to rub shoulders, don't you think?" Joey still reserved his opinion. When the girl went to the forecastle by climbing down the sailors' ladder to the lower deck, he thought she was making a mistake; but she held her arms for his spring, and all was well.
Between Guitru-gueyu and the Sierra Ventana, I crossed a dry plain of tosca-rock higher than the country hitherto passed over, and with small pieces of denuded tableland of the same formation, standing still higher.
BRUNO. No hay necesidad de que yo baje ... que su merced se quedó de centinela en la puerta principal de los Basilios, y así con una seña que yo le haga desde aquella ventana con el pañuelo.... DOÑA MATILDE. Con el pañuelo no, que quizá no lo advierta ... toma esta sábana.... BRUNO. Venga. DON EDUARDO. Apretemos otro poco el tornillo.
Eighty miles south, on the contrary, the Sierra Ventana, toward which the travelers might possibly have to betake themselves should the Guamini disappoint their hopes, the landscape was totally different. There the fertility is splendid; the pasturage is incomparable.
Yet there was nothing unreasonable in the mere fact that a certain Chilean named Ventana, who had business relations with Mr. Baring, should make the acquaintance of Isobel Baring's friend. As quickly as it had arisen, the feeling of strangeness passed. Courtenay even laughed. Elsie as the Jonah of the ship was a quaint conceit.
Baring knew his character as I know it, Ventana would not be allowed to enter his office." "Pedro Ventana?" interrupted Christobal. "Is he a half-caste, a tall, brown-skinned man, who affects an American drawl when he speaks English a man prominent in Santiago society and in mining circles generally?" "Yes," said Elsie. "That is odd, exceedingly so.
Southward of the Ventana, the plain extends farther than the eye can range; its surface is not very level, having slight depressions with no drainage exits; it is generally covered by a few feet in thickness of sandy earth; and in some places, according to M. Parchappe, by beds of clay two yards thick. I shall immediately return to the important sections on the shores of Bahia Blanca.
On the trail to the Ventana Mountains we came across lion tracks and followed them for a day, then lost them; but we knew that a large male and young female were ranging over the country. Their circuit extended over a radius of ten miles; they are great travelers. The track of a lion is characteristic. The general contour is round, from three to four inches in diameter.
