Of 1t. My hammock was slung across

were drinking and talking until near

feas were doing the same. Six dogs

Browns band stopped in midair.

CHAPTER v.
The Village In the Jungle.

THAT night we spent at place
called pena Blanca. which diff
fered in no essential from Ga
L tun We slept there in small
sheds, along with twenty or thirty OF
our ships companions wedged tightly
together. \ dozen other similar sheds
adjoined We were all quarrelsome
and diSnclined to take much nonsense
either from the natives or from each
other Also we needed and wanted
food, and we had difficulty in getting
it. \ dozen incipient quarrels were
eXtinguisbed because the majority OF
the crowd would not stand for being
bothered by the row.
The next day was clearing, with Oc-
casional heavy dashng showers, just
to keep us interested. The country be-
gan more to open up. We passed
many grass savannahS dotted with
palms and tree something like our
locust Herds of cattle fed there. The
river narrowed and became SWifter.
Along in the early forenoon we reach
ed holder shores in which the trap
rock descended sheer beneath the sur
face of the water. Directly ahead Of
us rose a mountain like a cone of
verdure. We glided around the base
Of it and so came to Gorgona, situated
on high bluff beyond. This we had
decided upon as the end Of our river
Journey. TO be sure we had bargain
ed for Cruces, six miles beyond. but
as the majority Of our ships compan-
ions had decided on that route we
thought the Gorgona trail might be
less crowded. SO we beached our boat
and unloaded our effects and set forth
to find accommodation for the pres
ent and mules for the immediate fu-
ture.
At first there seemed slight chance
of getting either. The place was
crowded beyond its capacity. The Ho-
tel Franchise. a shed and tent sort OF
combination with Il muddy natural
floor. was damned. The few native
huts were crowded. Many we saw
making themselves as comfortable as
possible amid their effects out IN the
open. Some we talked with said they
had been there for over a week, un-
able to move because of lack of trans
portation. They reported much fever,
and, in fact, we saw one poor shaking
wretch, wistfu eyed as Il sick dog,
braced against a tree all alone. The
spirit was drained out of him, and all
he wanted was to get back.
While we were discussing what to
do next our muslin clad eX-padrone,
who had been paid and shaken by the
hand some time since, approached
smoking q longer cigar than ever.
This he waved at US in a most debo-
nair and friendly manner.
Bread ON the water" commented
Talbot after short conversation. Gle
saws we have treated him like broth
er and a true comrade in arms, which
means that l did You fellows, con-
found your spiteful souls. wanted to

drone stood aside, smiling cheerfully.

manded

Indeed. would go further and desig-

The padrone seemed much gratified.
but Immediately demanded S.. This
Talbot gave him. Johnny thought the
demand went far toward destroying
the value of the padrone's kindness,
but the rest Of us differed. 1 believe
this people, lazy and dishonest as they
are, are nevertheless peculiarly sus-
ceptible to kindness. The man had
started by trying to cheat us of our
bargain: he ended by going out of his
way to help US along.
Having paid the alcalde, we set
forth. Our good padrone was on hand

Doesn't matter what we ought to
have done" rejoined Talbot little i'm
patiently. What are we going to do?
Are we going to wait here until the
next steamer comes along?"
That's likely to be two or three
months-nobody knows" said Johnny.
NO; it's in six weeks. l believe.
They tell me they've started regular
trips ON a new mail contract"
well, six weeks. If we stay in this
hole Wen all be sick, Wen be broke,
and in the meantime every ounce of
gold in the country will have been
picked up"
whats the alternative?" l asked.
Sailing vessel" said Talbot briefly.
THAT'S mighty uncertain l object
ed. Nobody knows when one will
get In, and when it does show up it'll
be a mad scramble to get to her.
There's a mob waiting to 60"
well. it's one Or the other. We
can't walk, and 1 don't see that the
situation is going to be much better
when the next steamer does get here.
There are a couple Of hundred to
crowd in on her, just counting those
who are here and have tickets. And
then there will be lot more
"I'm for the sailing vessel said
Johnny. "They come in every week
or two now, and if we can't make the
first one We'll have a good chance at
the second or the third"
Talbot looked at me inquiringly.
Sounds reasonable" I admitted.
"Then we've no time to lOse," said
Talbot decisively and turned away to-
ward the town.
Yank, who had listened silently to
our brief discussion, shifted his rifle
to his shoulder and followed. Shortly
he fell behind, and we lost him.

We Could Reach Her Decks.
surrounded ten deep by empty boats.
A profound Encouragement succeeded
the excitement under which we had
made our effort.
'"The deuce with herr snarled John
ny. ''There's no sense going aboard
her. There's enough on deck now to
fill her three times over. Let's get
back where it's warm"
eff run across any of those fellows
in town I'll break their necks!' said /.
"What makes me mad continued
Johnny.
ooh, for heavens sake shut upr'
cried Talbot.
If he had been little less cold and
miserable we probably would have
quarreled. AS it was, we merely
bumped over and motioned the aston
ished Manuel to return to the shore.
Our boats head turned, we dropped
down under the bow of the ship. In
order to avoid the sweep Of the seas
Manuel held us as closely as possible
under the bowsprit. We heard a hail
above us. Looking up we saw Yank
bending over the rail.
We stared at him, our mouths open,
so astonished that for moment we
did not even think to check the boat.
Then we came back in a clumsy cir
Gle. Yank yelled at us, and we yelled
back at him, but so great was the
crash of waters and the whistling Of
wind that we could make out nothing
Then Yank, motiOning us to remain
where we were, disappeared, to return
after short interval with a speaking
trumpet.

important man and not to be disturbed

The clerk was gone for some mo-

us to a screened off private office in
the rear.

We found Brown to be ford, solid

and brown beard. He nodded to us
briefly and looked expectant.

We were not fortunate enough to get
