My friend, Capitano Salvador De San Benavides," and he bowed with much dignity toward the uniformed officer, "came here two days ago in a felucca to warn me that a steamer would lie to about a mile south of the island to-night. The steamer's name is Andros-y-Mela it is rather like the name of your unhappy vessel so much alike that the Andromeda has been sunk by mistake. That is all."
Adios, my dear Salvador. We shall meet again in happier times. God guard you, and bring you safe to your journey's end." And then we rode forth into the night. "We had better take to the open country at once, and strike the road about a few miles farther on. It is rather risky, for we shall have to get over several rifts made by the earthquake and cross a stream with high banks.
Then ships will say, 'Now here is the river so and so, as to-day the horseman says, 'Here is the Tagus, or the Guadalquiver!" Another thing he said was that to his mind all the islands that we had found in six years, from San Salvador to Cubagua, had once been joined together. Land from this shore to Cuba and beyond. So the peoples were scattered.
"Well, let's run around this island and find a landing place," Cub proposed. The run was made, with Cub in charge of the wheel and engine controls. They circumnavigated the island with unsatisfactory result. "That settles it," Bud declared. "If San Salvador had been like that, Columbus would have made his first landing somewhere else!"
Cabot sailed up the Argent River, and discovered an island which he called Francis Gabriel, and upon which he built the fort of San Salvador, entrusting the command of it to Antonio de Grajeda.
One of the San Salvador young men aboard us fancied some slight, experienced some fear, or may even, who knows? have wearied of the gods. Springing upon the rail he threw himself into sea and made off with great strokes toward the canoe. Pedro behind him shouted "Escape!" There was a rush to the side to observe. Fernando bawled, "Come back! or we'll let fly an arrow."
Efforts were made by the United States to arrive at a settlement with Costa Rica and Salvador on the basis of a money payment, but without success.
The scenes enacted in the privacy of Daylight's office, and of the meetings of his boards of directors, would have given the lie to the editorials in his newspapers; as, for instance, when he addressed the big stockholders in the Sierra and Salvador Power Company, the United Water Company, and the several other stock companies: "You've got to dig.
This we take to be the fine harbor and river situated west of Point Curiana; its distance corresponds with that run by Columbus from Caravelas Grandes, which we have supposed identical with Port San Salvador. Leaving Rio de Mares the 30th of October, Columbus stood to the N. W. for fifteen leagues, when he saw a cape, to which he gave the name of Cabode Palmas.
The `Captain' was instantly wore round, instead of tacking, according to a signal just then made by the admiral, and away, after them we went, followed by the `Culloden, `Blenheim, and `Diadem. The `Captain' was in the rear of the British line; but by the manoeuvre just performed, we came up with the Spaniards, and in a short time we and the `Blenheim' were tooth and nail with no less than seven Spanish line-of-battle ships one, the `Santissima Trinidade, of 130 guns, and the `San Josef' and `Salvador del Mundo' of 112, the others being of 80 and 74 guns.
