No
,
Morenita
!
You
shall
not
put
me
to
shame
,
"
he
said
.
"
You
shall
have
your
present
;
and
so
that
everyone
should
know
who
is
your
lover
to-day
,
you
may
cut
all
the
silver
buttons
off
my
coat
.
"
There
were
shouts
of
laughter
and
applause
at
this
witty
freak
,
while
the
girl
passed
the
keen
blade
,
and
the
impassive
rider
jingled
in
his
palm
the
increasing
hoard
of
silver
buttons
.
He
eased
her
to
the
ground
with
both
her
hands
full
.
After
whispering
for
a
while
with
a
very
strenuous
face
,
she
walked
away
,
staring
haughtily
,
and
vanished
into
the
crowd
.
The
circle
had
broken
up
,
and
the
lordly
Capataz
de
Cargadores
,
the
indispensable
man
,
the
tried
and
trusty
Nostromo
,
the
Mediterranean
sailor
come
ashore
casually
to
try
his
luck
in
Costaguana
,
rode
slowly
towards
the
harbour
.
The
Juno
was
just
then
swinging
round
;
and
even
as
Nostromo
reined
up
again
to
look
on
,
a
flag
ran
up
on
the
improvised
flagstaff
erected
in
an
ancient
and
dismantled
little
fort
at
the
harbour
entrance
Half
a
battery
of
field
guns
had
been
hurried
over
there
from
the
Sulaco
barracks
for
the
purpose
of
firing
the
regulation
salutes
for
the
President-Dictator
and
the
War
Minister
.
As
the
mail-boat
headed
through
the
pass
,
the
badly
timed
reports
announced
the
end
of
Don
Vincente
Ribiera
's
first
official
visit
to
Sulaco
,
and
for
Captain
Mitchell
the
end
of
another
"
historic
occasion
.
"
Next
time
when
the
"
Hope
of
honest
men
"
was
to
come
that
way
,
a
year
and
a
half
later
,
it
was
unofficially
,
over
the
mountain
tracks
,
fleeing
after
a
defeat
on
a
lame
mule
,
to
be
only
just
saved
by
Nostromo
from
an
ignominious
death
at
the
hands
of
a
mob
.
It
was
a
very
different
event
,
of
which
Captain
Mitchell
used
to
say
--
"
It
was
history
--
history
,
sir
!
And
that
fellow
of
mine
,
Nostromo
,
you
know
,
was
right
in
it
.
Absolutely
making
history
,
sir
.
"
But
this
event
,
creditable
to
Nostromo
,
was
to
lead
immediately
to
another
,
which
could
not
be
classed
either
as
"
history
"
or
as
"
a
mistake
"
in
Captain
Mitchell
's
phraseology
.
He
had
another
word
for
it
.
"
Sir
"
he
used
to
say
afterwards
,
"
that
was
no
mistake
.
It
was
a
fatality
.
A
misfortune
,
pure
and
simple
,
sir
.
And
that
poor
fellow
of
mine
was
right
in
it
--
right
in
the
middle
of
it
!
A
fatality
,
if
ever
there
was
one
--
and
to
my
mind
he
has
never
been
the
same
man
since
.
"
Through
good
and
evil
report
in
the
varying
fortune
of
that
struggle
which
Don
Jose
had
characterized
in
the
phrase
,
"
the
fate
of
national
honesty
trembles
in
the
balance
,
"
the
Gould
Concession
,
"
Imperium
in
Imperio
,
"
had
gone
on
working
;
the
square
mountain
had
gone
on
pouring
its
treasure
down
the
wooden
shoots
to
the
unresting
batteries
of
stamps
;
the
lights
of
San
Tome
had
twinkled
night
after
night
upon
the
great
,
limitless
shadow
of
the
Campo
;
every
three
months
the
silver
escort
had
gone
down
to
the
sea
as
if
neither
the
war
nor
its
consequences
could
ever
affect
the
ancient
Occidental
State
secluded
beyond
its
high
barrier
of
the
Cordillera
.
All
the
fighting
took
place
on
the
other
side
of
that
mighty
wall
of
serrated
peaks
lorded
over
by
the
white
dome
of
Higuerota
and
as
yet
unbreached
by
the
railway
,
of
which
only
the
first
part
,
the
easy
Campo
part
from
Sulaco
to
the
Ivie
Valley
at
the
foot
of
the
pass
,
had
been
laid
.
Neither
did
the
telegraph
line
cross
the
mountains
yet
;
its
poles
,
like
slender
beacons
on
the
plain
,
penetrated
into
the
forest
fringe
of
the
foot-hills
cut
by
the
deep
avenue
of
the
track
;
and
its
wire
ended
abruptly
in
the
construction
camp
at
a
white
deal
table
supporting
a
Morse
apparatus
,
in
a
long
hut
of
planks
with
a
corrugated
iron
roof
overshadowed
by
gigantic
cedar
trees
--
the
quarters
of
the
engineer
in
charge
of
the
advance
section
.
The
harbour
was
busy
,
too
,
with
the
traffic
in
railway
material
,
and
with
the
movements
of
troops
along
the
coast
.
The
O.S.N.
Company
found
much
occupation
for
its
fleet
.
Costaguana
had
no
navy
,
and
,
apart
from
a
few
coastguard
cutters
,
there
were
no
national
ships
except
a
couple
of
old
merchant
steamers
used
as
transports
.
