answered that we wished for no more Of the

our journey 10 the town OF Potrerillo, where we

tad that II was WELL though he was sorry that
they could not escort us far. as IL was their
duty 10 report the loss of tho ship to its owner,
who lived at Campeche.
When he heard this the sefor unbuckled the
belt Of money which he wore about his waist,
and pouring ont half handful of gold pieces,
begged the boatswain to accept Of them for
division between himself and his companions.

he said. speaking for the first time. "All that
had has gone down with tho ship, yes three
thousand dollars or more"

tween the three of MS and secured II upon our
persons. though perhaps you wcro wise. since
such weight OF gold might have been awkward
