The captain said the use of his name

He showed the correspondent a cable
with several wires running into the
harbor from IuerZa prison, opposite
the Cabanas fortress. One wire was
connected with a disused Geographic
instrument in a neighboring govern

that it runs to Cabanas across the har-

There is a remote chance that the
