At the time we were quartered there Tubac was a place of no small importance, and after Tucson and Prescott were discounted it was probably the largest settlement in the Territory. Unlike those of Tombstone, however, they are probably gone forever.

"Thanks; I'll look at it," said the tutor with aggravating cheerfulness. "You went up to London, didn't you?" "I've told you so, and that I lived there with a man called Fastnet." "And then you went abroad, I think you said?" "Yes; to India."
In the cities, there is often no appearance of a grave at all; a tall, slender marble tombstone, elaborately lettred, gilded and painted, marks the burial place, and this is surmounted by a turban, so carved and shaped as to signify the dead man's rank in life.

A few have more than this. Here lie the two brothers Bellina in one grave, with a cross at their head and another, rougher and larger, at their feet, announcing simply, "I due fratelli," "the two brothers." And here is a tombstone engraved with an anchor, for one who, very early in the war, was hit while fording the Isonzo in face of the enemy's fire.
