Glenarvan
,
an
experienced
traveler
,
who
knew
how
to
adapt
himself
to
the
customs
of
other
countries
,
adopted
the
Chilian
costume
for
himself
and
his
whole
party
.
Paganel
and
Robert
,
both
alike
children
,
though
of
different
growth
,
were
wild
with
delight
as
they
inserted
their
heads
in
the
national
PONCHO
,
an
immense
plaid
with
a
hole
in
center
,
and
their
legs
in
high
leather
boots
.
The
mules
were
richly
caparisoned
,
with
the
Arab
bit
in
their
mouths
,
and
long
reins
of
plaited
leather
,
which
served
as
a
whip
;
the
headstall
of
the
bridle
was
decorated
with
metal
ornaments
,
and
the
ALFORJAS
,
double
sacks
of
gay
colored
linen
,
containing
the
day
's
provisions
.
Paganel
,
DISTRAIT
as
usual
,
was
flung
several
times
before
he
succeeded
in
bestriding
his
good
steed
,
but
once
in
the
saddle
,
his
inseparable
telescope
on
his
shoulder-belt
,
he
held
on
well
enough
,
keeping
his
feet
fast
in
the
stirrups
,
and
trusting
entirely
to
the
sagacity
of
his
beast
.
As
for
Robert
,
his
first
attempt
at
mounting
was
successful
,
and
proved
that
he
had
the
making
in
him
of
an
excellent
horseman
.
The
weather
was
splendid
when
they
started
,
the
sky
a
deep
cloudless
blue
,
and
yet
the
atmosphere
so
tempered
by
the
sea
breezes
as
to
prevent
any
feeling
of
oppressive
heat
.
They
marched
rapidly
along
the
winding
shore
of
the
bay
of
Talcahuano
,
in
order
to
gain
the
extremity
of
the
parallel
,
thirty
miles
south
.
No
one
spoke
much
the
first
day
,
for
the
smoke
of
the
Duncan
was
still
visible
on
the
horizon
,
and
the
pain
of
parting
too
keenly
felt
.
Paganel
talked
to
himself
in
Spanish
,
asking
and
answering
questions
.
The
CATAPEZ
,
moreover
,
was
a
taciturn
man
naturally
,
and
had
not
been
rendered
loquacious
by
his
calling
.
He
hardly
spoke
to
his
PEONS
.
They
understood
their
duties
perfectly
.
If
one
of
the
mules
stopped
,
they
urged
it
on
with
a
guttural
cry
,
and
if
that
proved
unavailing
,
a
good-sized
pebble
,
thrown
with
unerring
aim
,
soon
cured
the
animal
's
obstinacy
.
If
a
strap
got
loose
,
or
a
rein
fell
,
a
PEON
came
forward
instantly
,
and
throwing
off
his
poncho
,
flung
it
over
his
beast
's
head
till
the
accident
was
repaired
and
the
march
resumed
.
The
custom
of
the
muleteers
is
to
start
immediately
after
breakfast
,
about
eight
o'clock
,
and
not
to
stop
till
they
camp
for
the
night
,
about
4
P.
M.
Glenarvan
fell
in
with
the
practice
,
and
the
first
halt
was
just
as
they
arrived
at
Arauco
,
situated
at
the
very
extremity
of
the
bay
.
To
find
the
extremity
of
the
37th
degree
of
latitude
,
they
would
have
required
to
proceed
as
far
as
the
Bay
of
Carnero
,
twenty
miles
further
.
But
the
agents
of
Glenarvan
had
already
scoured
that
part
of
the
coast
,
and
to
repeat
the
exploration
would
have
been
useless
.
It
was
,
therefore
,
decided
that
Arauco
should
be
the
point
of
departure
,
and
they
should
keep
on
from
there
toward
the
east
in
a
straight
line
.
Since
the
weather
was
so
favorable
,
and
the
whole
party
,
even
Robert
,
were
in
perfect
health
,
and
altogether
the
journey
had
commenced
under
such
favorable
auspices
,
it
was
deemed
advisable
to
push
forward
as
quickly
as
possible
.
Accordingly
,
the
next
day
they
marched
35
miles
or
more
,
and
encamped
at
nightfall
on
the
banks
of
Rio
Biobio
.
The
country
still
presented
the
same
fertile
aspect
,
and
abounded
in
flowers
,
but
animals
of
any
sort
only
came
in
sight
occasionally
,
and
there
were
no
birds
visible
,
except
a
solitary
heron
or
owl
,
and
a
thrush
or
grebe
,
flying
from
the
falcon
.
Human
beings
there
were
none
,
not
a
native
appeared
;
not
even
one
of
the
GUASSOS
,
the
degenerate
offspring
of
Indians
and
Spaniards
,
dashed
across
the
plain
like
a
shadow
,
his
flying
steed
dripping
with
blood
from
the
cruel
thrusts
inflicted
by
the
gigantic
spurs
of
his
master
's
naked
feet
.
It
was
absolutely
impossible
to
make
inquiries
when
there
was
no
one
to
address
,
and
Lord
Glenarvan
came
to
the
conclusion
that
Captain
Grant
must
have
been
dragged
right
over
the
Andes
into
the
Pampas
,
and
that
it
would
be
useless
to
search
for
him
elsewhere
.
The
only
thing
to
be
done
was
to
wait
patiently
and
press
forward
with
all
the
speed
in
their
power
.
On
the
17th
they
set
out
in
the
usual
line
of
march
,
a
line
which
it
was
hard
work
for
Robert
to
keep
,
his
ardor
constantly
compelled
him
to
get
ahead
of
the
MADRINA
,
to
the
great
despair
of
his
mule
.
Nothing
but
a
sharp
recall
from
Glenarvan
kept
the
boy
in
proper
order
.
The
country
now
became
more
diversified
,
and
the
rising
ground
indicated
their
approach
to
a
mountainous
district
.
Rivers
were
more
numerous
,
and
came
rushing
noisily
down
the
slopes
.
Paganel
consulted
his
maps
,
and
when
he
found
any
of
those
streams
not
marked
,
which
often
happened
,
all
the
fire
of
a
geographer
burned
in
his
veins
,
and
he
would
exclaim
,
with
a
charming
air
of
vexation
:
