Ojeda was to have that portion extending from the Gulf to the Cape de la Vela, which is just west of the Gulf of Venezuela. This territory was named new Andalusia. Nicuesa was to take that between the Gulf and the Cape Gracias á Dios off Honduras. This section was denominated Golden Castile. Each governor was to fit out his expedition at his own charges.
He also divided the newly-discovered continent into two governments, of which one was to extend from Cape La Vela to the Gulf of Darien, and the other from the Gulf of Darien to Cape Gracias a Dios. The first was given to Hojeda, the second to Nicuessa. These two "conquistadores" had to deal with a population far less easy to manage than that of the Antilles.
Silently they drank. "Gracias, señor. I go hitch up one team," Pablo promised, and disappeared at once. For about ten minutes Parker remained in his room, thinking. His wife and Kay had started, afoot, to visit the Mission shortly after Don Mike and Pablo had left the ranch that morning, and for this Parker was duly grateful to Providence.
"You can get what you want there." She retreated into the doorway, and Rathburn saw that the chance interview was at an end. "Gracias, as they say in the desert country," he said, saluting as he turned away. "It means thanks, ma'am." He looked back as he touched the mustang with his steel and saw her looking after him with a strange look in her eyes.
Are you willing to fall in with it?" "Si, senor; si, si. Mille gracias," replied the slaves, with such perfect unanimity that the young man no longer hesitated. "So be it," he said.
José Vaca had spoken, but Waring was watching Ramon's eyes. "All right, hombre. Muchas gracias." "And now you will let me go?" queried Vaca. "I haven't said so." Waring's tone was pleasant, almost indifferent. Ramon's face was troubled. Of what use was it to try and deceive the gringo? But Waring was smiling. Did he, then, believe such an obvious lie? "Bueno!" Waring exclaimed. "That lets you out.
The young officer swung the sword around his head. His eyes flashed. "Gracias. Friends, I solemnly pledge my life to the great cause of the people. Our hero is dead. We mourn him and devote ourselves anew to the principles for which he fought. Never shall I lay down this sword until I have won for you the rights of a free nation. I promise you land for all, wealth for all, freedom from tyranny.
I just wanted to tell you that you need not carry that rifle any more. I shall see to it that you are not removed from the ranch." He stared at her with stolid interest. "Muchas gracias, señorita," he mumbled. Then, remembering she did not understand Spanish, he resumed in English: "I am an old man, mees. Since my two boss he's die, pretty soon Pablo die, too.
Don Carlos was either a capital actor and gratefully relieved at Stewart's leniency or else he was thoroughly cowed by references to the troops. "Si, Senor! Gracias, Senor!" he exclaimed; and then, turning away, he called to his men. They hurried after him, while the fallen vaquero got to his feet with Stewart's help and staggered across the courtyard.
Each night he cast anchor, that he might not be driven far from the shore, and at length reached that eastern extremity of the coast where it ends abruptly in the Cape Gracias a Dios. This cape was doubled on the 14th of September, but the ships encountered contrary winds so violent, that even the admiral, himself the oldest sailor of the crews, had never before experienced the like.
