Indeed, I would go further and desig- nate you as a genuine lallapaloozer! The padrone seemed much gratified, but immediately demanded $5. 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. I believe teptible to kindness. The man had »argain; he ended by going out of his way to help us along. Having paid the alcalde, we set t~ say farewell to us at the edge of town. He gave us a sort of cup made from cocoanut husk, to which long cords had been attached. With these, he explained, we could dip up water without dismounting. We found the most convenient.

We over one day at the Fonda Americano and then, realizing that we were probably in for a long wait, found Ywo rooms in a house off the main street. These we rented from a native at a fairly reasonable rate. They were in the second story of a massive stone ruin whose walls had been patched up with whitewash. Outside the walls of the city was a large encampment of tents in which dwelt the more impecunious or more economical of the miners. Here too had located a large hospital tent. There was g, great deal of sickness, due to the hardships of the journey, the bad climate, irregular living, thé overeating of fruit, drinking, the total lack_ of sanitation. In fact, situation of the city--out.on an isth- mus in the sea breezes--I am con- vineed, saved us from pestilence.

A good many, I should think, must have fallen victims to {hese nostrums. i {Each morning regularly we went down to harass the steamship employ- ees. Roughly spe us had bought through passage before leaving New York, and it was an- nounced that only fifty-two additional to those already aboard could be squeezed into the first steamer. The other 248 would have to await the next. leaned cra toward each us alleys the streets War ut cathe churches stood stopped for such a delay in such a place at the time of a gold rush was unthinkable. The officials at that steamship office had no easy time. Each man wanted first of all to know just when the ship was to be expected, a thing no one could guess. Then he demanded his accommodations and had a dozen rea- sons why his claim shouid be pre- ferred over that of the others. I nev- er saw a more quarrelsome, noisy dog kennel than that steamship office. Why no one was ever shot there 1 could not tell you. In the evening the main street was a blaze of light, and the byways were cast in darkness. The crowd was all afoot and moved restlessly to and fro from one bar or gambling place to an- other. Of the thousands or so of stran- gers we came in time to recognize by sight a great many. The journey home | through the dark was perilous. Wa never attempted it except in company, and, as Johuny seemed fascinated with a certain game called Mexican monte, we often had to endure long waits be- fore all our party was assembled. One morning our daily trip to the steamship office bore fruit. We found the plaza filled with excited men, all | talking and gesticulating.. The much | tired officials had evolved a scheme for deciding which fifty-two of the 300 should go by the first ship. By next morning the transportation officials had worked it out. We co not all get into the office, so the draw- ing took place on the plaza outside. | As each man's name was called he { stepped forward. showed his ticket | and was allowed to draw a slip from 8 box. | went away: If he was Jucky, he had pis ticket vised on the spot.
