Tis
the
man
,
'
says
Halloran
,
'
who
is
tryin
'
to
complete
the
finishin
'
of
the
railroad
.
'
Twas
the
project
of
a
private
corporation
,
but
it
busted
,
and
then
the
government
took
it
up
.
De
Vegy
is
a
big
politician
,
and
wants
to
be
prisident
.
The
people
want
the
railroad
completed
,
as
they
're
taxed
mighty
on
account
of
it
.
The
De
Vegy
man
is
pushin
'
it
along
as
a
campaign
move
.
'
"
"
Tis
not
my
way
,
'
says
I
,
'
to
make
threats
against
any
man
,
but
there
's
an
account
to
be
settled
between
the
railroad
man
and
James
O'Dowd
Clancy
.
'
"
"
Twas
that
way
I
thought
,
mesilf
,
at
first
,
'
Halloran
says
,
with
a
big
sigh
,
'
until
I
got
to
be
a
lettuce-eater
.
The
fault
's
wid
these
tropics
.
They
rejuices
a
man
's
system
.
'
Tis
a
land
,
as
the
poet
says
,
"
Where
it
always
seems
to
be
after
dinner
.
"
I
does
me
work
and
smokes
me
pipe
and
sleeps
.
There
's
little
else
in
life
,
anyway
.
Ye
'll
get
that
way
yersilf
,
mighty
soon
.
Do
n't
be
harbourin
'
any
sintiments
at
all
,
Clancy
.
'
"
'
I
ca
n't
help
it
,
'
says
I
;
'
I
'm
full
of
'em
.
I
enlisted
in
the
revolutionary
army
of
this
dark
country
in
good
faith
to
fight
for
its
liberty
,
honours
and
silver
candlesticks
;
instead
of
which
I
am
set
to
amputatin
'
its
scenery
and
grubbin
'
its
roots
.
'
Tis
the
general
man
will
have
to
pay
for
it
.
'
"
Two
months
I
worked
on
that
railroad
before
I
found
a
chance
to
get
away
.
One
day
a
gang
of
us
was
sent
back
to
the
end
of
the
completed
line
to
fetch
some
picks
that
had
been
sent
down
to
Port
Barrios
to
be
sharpened
.
They
were
brought
on
a
hand-car
,
and
I
noticed
,
when
I
started
away
,
that
the
car
was
left
there
on
the
track
.
"
That
night
,
about
twelve
,
I
woke
up
Halloran
and
told
him
my
scheme
.
"
'
Run
away
?
'
says
Halloran
.
'
Good
Lord
,
Clancy
,
do
ye
mean
it
?
Why
,
I
ai
n't
got
the
nerve
.
It
's
too
chilly
,
and
I
ai
n't
slept
enough
.
Run
away
?
I
told
you
,
Clancy
,
I
've
eat
the
lettuce
.
I
've
lost
my
grip
.
'
Tis
the
tropics
that
's
done
it
.
'
Tis
like
the
poet
says
:
"
Forgotten
are
our
friends
that
we
have
left
behind
;
in
the
hollow
lettuce-land
we
will
live
and
lay
reclined
.
"
You
better
go
on
,
Clancy
.
I
'll
stay
,
I
guess
.
It
's
too
early
and
cold
,
and
I
'm
sleepy
.
'
"
So
I
had
to
leave
Halloran
.
I
dressed
quiet
,
and
slipped
out
of
the
tent
we
were
in
.
When
the
guard
came
along
I
knocked
him
over
,
like
a
ninepin
,
with
a
green
cocoanut
I
had
,
and
made
for
the
railroad
.
I
got
on
that
hand-car
and
made
it
fly
.
'
Twas
yet
a
while
before
daybreak
when
I
saw
the
lights
of
Port
Barrios
about
a
mile
away
.
I
stopped
the
hand-car
there
and
walked
to
the
town
.
I
stepped
inside
the
corporations
of
that
town
with
care
and
hesitations
.
I
was
not
afraid
of
the
army
of
Guatemala
,
but
me
soul
quaked
at
the
prospect
of
a
hand-to-hand
struggle
with
its
employment
bureau
.
'
Tis
a
country
that
hires
its
help
easy
and
keeps
'em
long
.
Sure
I
can
fancy
Missis
America
and
Missis
Guatemala
passin
'
a
bit
of
gossip
some
fine
,
still
night
across
the
mountains
.
'
Oh
,
dear
,
'
says
Missis
America
,
'
and
it
's
a
lot
of
trouble
I
'm
havin
'
ag
'
in
with
the
help
,
señora
,
ma'am
.
'
'
Laws
,
now
!
'
says
Missis
Guatemala
,
'
you
do
n't
say
so
,
ma'am
!
Now
,
mine
never
think
of
leavin
'
me
--
te-he
!
ma'am
,
'
snickers
Missis
Guatemala
.
