O-hé
!
Señor
Almirante
,
"
called
the
large
man
.
"
Send
to
us
your
boat
.
"
The
dory
was
lowered
,
and
Felipe
,
with
one
of
the
Caribs
,
rowed
toward
the
left
bank
.
The
large
man
stood
near
the
water
's
brink
,
waist
deep
in
the
curling
vines
.
As
he
gazed
upon
the
scarecrow
figure
in
the
stern
of
the
dory
a
sprightly
interest
beamed
upon
his
mobile
face
.
Months
of
wageless
and
thankless
service
had
dimmed
the
admiral
's
splendour
.
His
red
trousers
were
patched
and
ragged
.
Most
of
the
bright
buttons
and
yellow
braid
were
gone
from
his
jacket
.
The
visor
of
his
cap
was
torn
,
and
depended
almost
to
his
eyes
.
The
admiral
's
feet
were
bare
.
"
Dear
admiral
,
"
cried
the
large
man
,
and
his
voice
was
like
a
blast
from
a
horn
,
"
I
kiss
your
hands
.
I
knew
we
could
build
upon
your
fidelity
.
You
had
our
despatch
--
from
General
Martinez
.
A
little
nearer
with
your
boat
,
dear
Admiral
.
Upon
these
devils
of
shifting
vines
we
stand
with
the
smallest
security
.
"
Felipe
regarded
him
with
a
stolid
face
.
"
Provisions
and
beef
for
the
barracks
at
Alforan
,
"
he
quoted
.
"
No
fault
of
the
butchers
,
Almirante
mio
,
that
the
beef
awaits
you
not
.
But
you
are
come
in
time
to
save
the
cattle
.
Get
us
aboard
your
vessel
,
señor
,
at
once
.
You
first
,
caballeros
--
á
priesa
!
Come
back
for
me
.
The
boat
is
too
small
.
"
The
dory
conveyed
the
two
officers
to
the
sloop
,
and
returned
for
the
large
man
.
"
Have
you
so
gross
a
thing
as
food
,
good
admiral
?
"
he
cried
,
when
aboard
.
"
And
,
perhaps
,
coffee
?
Beef
and
provisions
!
Nombre
de
Dios
!
a
little
longer
and
we
could
have
eaten
one
of
those
mules
that
you
,
Colonel
Rafael
,
saluted
so
feelingly
with
your
sword
scabbard
at
parting
.
Let
us
have
food
;
and
then
we
will
sail
--
for
the
barracks
at
Alforan
--
no
?
"
