I
reflects
a
bit
,
serious
,
and
asks
the
general
again
to
denominate
the
terms
by
which
his
country
is
called
.
He
tells
me
,
and
I
see
then
that
'
twas
the
t
'
other
one
,
Kamchatka
,
I
had
in
mind
.
Since
then
I
've
had
difficulty
in
separatin
'
the
two
nations
in
name
,
climate
and
geographic
disposition
.
"
I
paid
my
passage
--
twenty-four
dollars
,
first
cabin
--
and
ate
at
table
with
the
officer
crowd
.
Down
on
the
lower
deck
was
a
gang
of
second-class
passengers
,
about
forty
of
them
,
seemin
'
to
be
Dagoes
and
the
like
.
I
wondered
what
so
many
of
them
were
goin
'
along
for
.
"
Well
,
then
,
in
three
days
we
sailed
alongside
that
Guatemala
.
'
Twas
a
blue
country
,
and
not
yellow
as
'
tis
miscolored
on
the
map
.
We
landed
at
a
town
on
the
coast
,
where
a
train
of
cars
was
waitin
'
for
us
on
a
dinky
little
railroad
.
The
boxes
on
the
steamer
were
brought
ashore
and
loaded
on
the
cars
.
The
gang
of
Dagoes
got
aboard
,
too
,
the
general
and
me
in
the
front
car
.
Yes
,
me
and
General
De
Vega
headed
the
revolution
,
as
it
pulled
out
of
the
seaport
town
.
That
train
travelled
about
as
fast
as
a
policeman
goin
'
to
a
riot
.
It
penetrated
the
most
conspicuous
lot
of
fuzzy
scenery
ever
seen
outside
a
geography
.
We
run
some
forty
miles
in
seven
hours
,
and
the
train
stopped
.
There
was
no
more
railroad
.
'
Twas
a
sort
of
camp
in
a
damp
gorge
full
of
wildness
and
melancholies
.
They
was
gradin
'
and
choppin
'
out
the
forests
ahead
to
continue
the
road
.
'
Here
,
'
says
I
to
myself
,
'
is
the
romantic
haunt
of
the
revolutionists
.
Here
will
Clancy
,
by
the
virtue
that
is
in
a
superior
race
and
the
inculcation
of
Fenian
tactics
,
strike
a
tremendous
blow
for
liberty
.
'
"
They
unloaded
the
boxes
from
the
train
and
begun
to
knock
the
tops
off
.
From
the
first
one
that
was
open
I
saw
General
De
Vega
take
the
Winchester
rifles
and
pass
them
around
to
a
squad
of
morbid
soldiery
.
The
other
boxes
was
opened
next
,
and
,
believe
me
or
not
,
divil
another
gun
was
to
be
seen
.
Every
other
box
in
the
load
was
full
of
pickaxes
and
spades
.
"
And
then
--
sorrow
be
upon
them
tropics
--
the
proud
Clancy
and
the
dishonoured
Dagoes
,
each
one
of
them
,
had
to
shoulder
a
pick
or
a
spade
,
and
march
away
to
work
on
that
dirty
little
railroad
.
Yes
;
'
twas
that
the
Dagoes
shipped
for
,
and
'
twas
that
the
filibusterin
'
Clancy
signed
for
,
though
unbeknownst
to
himself
at
the
time
.
In
after
days
I
found
out
about
it
.
It
seems
'
twas
hard
to
get
hands
to
work
on
that
road
.
The
intelligent
natives
of
the
country
was
too
lazy
to
work
.
Indeed
,
the
saints
know
,
'
twas
unnecessary
.
By
stretchin
'
out
one
hand
,
they
could
seize
the
most
delicate
and
costly
fruits
of
the
earth
,
and
,
by
stretchin
'
out
the
other
,
they
could
sleep
for
days
at
a
time
without
hearin
'
a
seven-o'clock
whistle
or
the
footsteps
of
the
rent
man
upon
the
stairs
.
So
,
regular
,
the
steamers
travelled
to
the
United
States
to
seduce
labour
.
Usually
the
imported
spade-slingers
died
in
two
or
three
months
from
eatin
'
the
over-ripe
water
and
breathin
'
the
violent
tropical
scenery
.
Wherefore
they
made
them
sign
contracts
for
a
year
,
when
they
hired
them
,
and
put
an
armed
guard
over
the
poor
divils
to
keep
them
from
runnin
'
away
.
"
'
Twas
thus
I
was
double-crossed
by
the
tropics
through
a
family
failin
'
of
goin
'
out
of
the
way
to
hunt
disturbances
.
"
They
gave
me
a
pick
,
and
I
took
it
,
meditatin
'
an
insurrection
on
the
spot
;
but
there
was
the
guards
handlin
'
the
Winchesters
careless
,
and
I
come
to
the
conclusion
that
discretion
was
the
best
part
of
filibusterin
'
.
There
was
about
a
hundred
of
us
in
the
gang
startin
'
out
to
work
,
and
the
word
was
given
to
move
.
I
steps
out
of
the
ranks
and
goes
up
to
that
General
De
Vega
man
,
who
was
smokin
'
a
cigar
and
gazin
'
upon
the
scene
with
satisfactions
and
glory
.
He
smiles
at
me
polite
and
devilish
.
'
Plenty
work
,
'
says
he
,
'
for
big
,
strong
mans
in
Guatemala
.
Yes
.
T'irty
dollars
in
the
month
.
Good
pay
.
Ah
,
yes
.
You
strong
,
brave
man
.
Bimeby
we
push
those
railroad
in
the
capital
very
quick
.
They
want
you
go
work
now
.
Adios
,
strong
mans
.
'
"
'
Monseer
,
'
says
I
,
lingerin
'
,
'
will
you
tell
a
poor
little
Irishman
this
:
When
I
set
foot
on
your
cockroachy
steamer
,
and
breathed
liberal
and
revolutionary
sentiments
into
your
sour
wine
,
did
you
think
I
was
conspirin
'
to
sling
a
pick
on
your
contemptuous
little
railroad
?
And
when
you
answered
me
with
patriotic
recitations
,
humping
up
the
star-spangled
cause
of
liberty
,
did
you
have
meditations
of
reducin
'
me
to
the
ranks
of
the
stump-grubbin
'
Dagoes
in
the
chain-gangs
of
your
vile
and
grovelin
'
country
?
'
"
The
general
man
expanded
his
rotundity
and
laughed
considerable
.
Yes
,
he
laughed
very
long
and
loud
,
and
I
,
Clancy
,
stood
and
waited
.
