rich Mestizo rice merchant by several of
his English and American customers.
Promptly al O'Clock we drove into the
stone stairway, and an array of brilliant
colors and black eyes burst upon our
view. The Mestizo girls were sitting in
a row on one side of the room, about for
ty of them, some decked in gay plumage,
yellow, pink, and green being prominent
colors; others were dressed in somber
hues. They were very pretty, with 1.-THE,
graceful figures, and eyes as black as
coal. The men lowered near the doors
of the grand sala like hawks cycling chick

THE girls had a funny way of kissing
each other all the evening, and the fam
ciest kisses / ever saw; first both kiss 70
starboard and then both to port. The first
time ! noticed a young damsel kissed my
partner good-by as she started TO dance
with me- l was astonished, and said we
were not going far, which made them
laugh ] found that the girls in contigu-
Gus seats kissed good-by before every
dance, as IL to say You viii elope this
time, sure. When The time for supper came
l fell into line and escorted a blooming
Fnippina to the table. | asked resident
American what 1 should help her to- and
he said, emphatically: Ham and turkey;
give her plenty OF ham ana turkey L gave
her a full plate, which she soon dispatch
ed and then she called for more. Every
body ate ham and turkey. The gentlemen
acted as walters ana afterward sat down
together. Spaniards are terrible eaters, and
no wonder on this occasion, for they came
to the hall at O'clock and danced until 5
a. m. We held ourselves in dancing trim by
refreshments. The ladies' kept even with
us, and deserved great praise.
"The third following evening We gave a
ball on board. The spar deck was curtain
ed In and decorated with lanterns, flags,
and designs. The ball was an immense sue
cess up to about / O'Clock, when, to our
CONSERVATION, it began to rain. 1t never
rains in the winter. IL had not raiued for
two months, and did not rain for about a
month afterward: but down it came then,
pouring through the fiat awning and an
along the edges, and slowly and surely
moving inboard. The music fickered and
went out with a mournful discord; the
merry laughter gasped and expired, and
the ladies' clustered within the wet bound
airy which narrowed and narrowed and
drew them together In a little bunch Fin
ally, so small became the dry spot and 50
eight was the squeeze that the silence was
broken by shouts OF laughter and little
screams. The water splashed up, the la
dies pressed their skirts in, and stood on
the little toes OF their Spanish slippers. N

was sink or swim, we took the ladies' by
