A thrifty Chinaman, for there are some such even in Havana, bearing the characteristic name of Ah-Lee, connected with a bricabrac store on the Calzada de la Reina, held a lucky number in the lottery drawn during our brief stay at the Hotel Telegrafo. When the prizes were announced, he found that he was entitled to five hundred dollars.
Following the march, or keeping up with it along its flanks, trooped the gamins of the town, enviously studying the colorful uniforms. Mothers, sisters and sweethearts looked on admiringly from their doorways: "There he is, there! Do you see him? Reina y siñora! How grand he looks!"
Auguste Wey writes: "The oldest church in Los Angeles is known in local American parlance as 'The Plaza Church, 'Our Lady, 'Our Lady of Angels, 'Church of Our Lady, 'Church of the Angels, 'Father Liébana's Church, and 'The Adobe Church. It is formally the church of Nuestra Señora, Reina de los Angeles Our Lady, Queen of the Angels from whom Los Angeles gets its name."
Here, sonny, don't climb over that railing; your dimes are safe. Don't cry, sis; you ain't out a cent. Get in line, I say. Here, Pick, come and straighten 'em out and let 'em through and out by the other door." Buck takes off his coat, pushes his silk hat on the back of his head, and lights up a reina victoria. He sets at the table with the boodle before him, all done up in neat packages.
The paragraph which has the post of honour is headed "Oficial," and has in it a flavour of the Court Newsman. "S. M. la Reina y sus augustos hijos continúan tambien sin novedad en su importante salud." "Her Majesty the Queen and her august children also continue without alteration in their precious health."
As to Carthagena, the high rank which the royal edict had conferred upon him in the expedition saved him from death, but with Gomez de la Reina, the chaplain, he was left behind on the shore, where some months afterwards he was found by Estevam Gomez. Forty sailors convicted of rebellion were pardoned because their services were considered indispensable.
Back she cowered, and the ready, protecting arm of Buckley formed her refuge. What terror so dire as to thus beset the close of the reign of the never- before-daunted Queen? Across the path there crawled a /caterpillar/ a horrid, fuzzy, two- inch caterpillar! Truly, Kuku, thou went avenged. Thus abdicated the Queen of the Serpent Tribe /viva la reina/!
Old Morro Castle, perched above the mouth of the channel, seemed battered and forlorn. The Stars and Stripes floated on high exultingly from the very staff that formerly bore the Spanish colors, and we thrilled when we saw it. The wreck of the "Reina Mercedes" could be plainly made out, and beyond her could also be seen the masts and stack of the "Merrimac" a monument to American heroism.
Mebbe shoot em. Tall Elk comes to see if Great Colonel would like to come too." "Thank you, chief; I would rather not be at the capture of Captain Stephens. You know he saved la Reina here, from being drowned in the whirlpool." The "Queen" was the name by which Annette was known among all the Indians and Metis that lived upon the plain.
Three good ships had Admiral Montojo the "Reina Cristina," the "Castilla," and the "Don Antonio de Ulloa"; but his others were old-fashioned and lacking in modern armament. But should they take positions under the guns of the Spanish forts, at the end of a channel plentifully guarded by mines and torpedoes, the disparity in forces would disappear.
