"Is that something new?" inquired the Padre, eagerly. The young man gave an exclamation. "The whole world is ringing with it!" he cried. "But Santa Ysabel del Mar is a long way from the whole world," murmured Padre Ignacio. "Indeed, it would not appear to be so," returned young Gaston. "I think the Comedie Francaise must be round the corner."
Trouble is working up, as plain as the nose on your face. The niggers are going to break out, and there'll be another Hohono horror here." "What's a Hohono horror?" Bertie asked, after the storekeeper had been persuaded to remain until the end of the month. "Oh, he means Hohono Plantation, on Ysabel," said the manager.
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, almost whispering now.
The man on the corridor had vaulted through the window. Ysabel, clinching her hands the better to control her jumping nerves, turned quickly to Cabañares, who had pressed behind her, and was pouring words into her ear. "Ysabel! Ysabel! hast thou no pity? Dost thou not see that I am fit to set the world on fire for love of thee? The very water boils as I drink it "
I've got to rejoin my ship at 9 a.m. on Friday morning, or I run the risk of being hauled over the coals." "Surely not. They will make allowances, seeing what your errand has been." "They don't make allowances easily in the Navy, sir. Besides, I've set my heart on being back in time." "You will return this way, then. Ysabel Island is this side of the 180 degree line." "Well, no, sir.
A barque put in here to-day with four men picked up from an open boat south of New Guinea, who reported that the Government survey vessel Albatross has run ashore in a storm on Ysabel Island, one of the Solomon group. The crew and passengers, including Dr.
At the moment of writing this we are lost at sea somewhere northeast of Ysabel and trying vainly to find Lord Howe Island, which is an atoll that cannot be sighted unless one is on top of it. The chronometer has gone wrong. The sun does not shine anyway, nor can I get a star observation at night, and we have had nothing but squalls and rain for days and days. The cook is gone.
Temptation had arrived with Gaston, but was going to make a longer stay at Santa Ysabel del Mar. Yet it was something like a week before the priest knew what guest he had in his house now. The guest was not always present made himself scarce quite often. Sail away on the barkentine? That was a wild notion, to be sure, although fit enough to enter the brain of such a young scapegrace.
The little procession, Padre, six Indians, and two burros carrying the necessaries for the observance of mass, wound its way slowly up from the lower to the higher valley, and just before noon arrived at the top of the last rise before the Elcuanam, or Santa Ysabel, village should be reached. The Father was in the lead, our early acquaintance Jose close behind.
Let me at least in dying have helped some one. And since them is no aristocracy in souls you said that to me; do you remember? perhaps you will say a mass for this departing soul of mine. I only wish, must my body must go under ground in a strange country, that it might have been at Santa Ysabel did Mar, where your feet would often pass.
