Dona Ysabel Barreto abandoned the colony, on account of sickness and want, and embarked the survivors aboard her flagship, frigate, and galliot. But while they were sailing toward the Filipinas the frigate and galliot disappeared in another direction. The flagship entered the river of Butuan, in the island of Mindanao, and reached Manila after great want and suffering.
And here are the bride and bridegroom, Ysabel Alvarado, the flower of San Gabriel, and Ramon Enriquez, to whose proud, dark face hers is often lifted with happy smiles at the words of admiration and friendly wishes that reach their ears. Now, Juan, ring your loudest, and no one will complain: Muy querida, muy querida . . .
"I never thought of the pearls at least not often. At last, not at all. I have been very unhappy, señor. Ay!" The maiden reserve which had been knit like steel about her plastic years burst wide. "Thou art ill! What has happened to thee? Ay, Dios! what it is to be a woman and to suffer! Thou wilt die! Oh, Mother of God!" "I shall not die. Kiss me, Ysabel. Surely it is time now."
He entered his own boat, richly attired in scarlet, and holding the royal standard; while Martin Alonzo Pinzon and his brother put off in company in their boats, each with a banner of the enterprise emblazoned with a green cross, having on either side the letters "F." and "Y.," the initials of the Castilian monarchs Fernando and Ysabel, surmounted by crowns.

Pearls of all sizes and shapes pearls black and pearls white, pearls pink and pearls faintly blue, pearls like globes and pearls like pears, pearls as big as the lobe of Pio Pico's ear, pearls as dainty as bubbles of frost a lapful of gleaming luminous pearls, the like of which caballero had never brought to doña before. For a moment Ysabel forgot her love and her lover.
That such a one as you should be here is like a dream." "But it is not a dream," said the Padre. "And, sir pardon me if I do say this are you not wasted at Santa Ysabel del Mar? I have seen the priests at the other missions. They are the sort of good men that I expected. But are you needed to save such souls as these?" "There is no aristocracy of souls," said the Padre, again whispering.
We were drifting four days outside there in dead calms. Then the nor'wester caught us and drove us on the lee shore. We made sail and tried to clew off, when the rotten work of the Tahiti shipwrights became manifest. Our jib-boom and all our head- stays carried away. Our only chance was to turn and run through the passage between Florida and Ysabel.
'The Huguenots, Rossini, Herold I was waiting for 'Il Trovatore." "Is that something new?" said the padre, eagerly. The young man gave an exclamation. "The whole world is ringing with it," he said. "But Santa Ysabel del Mar is a long way from the whole world," said Padre Ignazio. "Indeed it would not appear to be so," returned young Gaston.
"Padre," he said, almost in a whisper, "I think it is the yellow thing that Pio stole. The sergeant made it open when we went for the package, and it was like that." "Holy Saints!" cried the Father; "it looks like that to me, too, but it cannot be. How could my umbrella get to Santa Ysabel? And what has become of Pio? If it is the umbrella, he must have brought it here."
