We were now in U-za-Ramo, which may mean the country of Ramo, though I have never found any natives who could enlighten me on the derivation of this obviously triple word.
"We have heard nothing of them since they sailed on the Ramona, nearly a week ago. Did your steamer hear of that vessel, Senor Ramo?" she asked, eagerly. "The Ramona did you say?" he inquired, and there was that in his manner which sent a cold chill of fear to the hearts of the motor girls. "Yes," answered Cora, huskily. "Oh, has anything happened? Have you heard any news? Tell me!
Inez, who had made the getting of Cora's fan an excuse to go to her room, to escape Senor Ramo, heard the sad tidings, and came down. By this time the "fat suspect," as Jack had nicknamed him, had gone, having scribbled a note of introduction to the captain of the Boldero. "Oh, what is it, Senoritas?" gasped Inez. "Is it zat you are in sorrow?" "Yes," said Cora, sadly. "Great sorrow, Inez.
Oh!" and she clutched at her wildly beating heart. "The Ramona a thousand pardons that I am the bearer of ill-tidings the Ramona was shipwrecked!" said Senor Ramo. "We picked up some of the sailors from it! Ah, deeply do I regret to have to tell you such news!" "Cora, what's the matter? Has this man ?"
Jack and Walter stood confronting, in the glare of several electric lights, the portly form of Senor Ramo, who seemed ill at ease.

Where are they?" asked Cora, impulsively.
Ruskin says, "the most perfect image possible of their utter lightness, feebleness, passiveness, and scattering agony of despair," our common texts have infin che il ramo Rende alla terra tutte le sue spoglie,
He had joined the steamer later, after having stolen the papers from the room of Inez. For it was Ramo who had taken them. His agents had sent him word that Inez had the means to free the political prisoner, and as this would have interfered with the plans of Ramo and his cronies, he determined to frustrate it.
Just plain Jack will do. And where were the papers?" "In the valise in my bed. But they are gone." There was no doubt of that also no doubt of the fact that Senor Ramo the man who was suspected by Inez of being in the plot to keep her father in the political prison was likewise missing. "Hum," mused Jack. "It may be merely a coincidence or it may not."
"That man?" queried the commander, in answer to Mr. Robinson's question. "Why, he is an old traveler with me. He goes up and down to Porto Rico quite often. He's a coffee merchant, Miguel Ramo by name, and very wealthy, I believe. Do you wish to meet him?" "Oh, no!" said Cora hastily, and with a meaning look at Mr. Robinson, "I I just wanted to know who he was."
But, above all, we'll have to be cautious in making inquiries." "Yes," agreed Cora. "Could you find out when Ramo left, and if he was near this section of the hotel?" "I'll try," agreed Jack. "Now you girls begin to sort out the things you want to take along on the cruise. Cora, speak to Bess and Belle about it." "Why, aren't we going to take all our baggage?" "What!
