It
was
accordingly
decided
that
they
should
encamp
for
the
rest
of
the
day
and
the
ensuing
night
.
Two
grave
questions
,
moreover
,
had
to
be
settled
:
where
to
get
food
,
and
means
of
transport
.
Provisions
and
mules
were
both
lacking
.
Happily
,
they
had
Thalcave
,
however
,
a
practised
guide
,
and
one
of
the
most
intelligent
of
his
class
.
He
undertook
to
find
all
that
was
needed
,
and
offered
to
take
him
to
a
TOLDERIA
of
Indians
,
not
further
than
four
miles
off
at
most
,
where
he
could
get
supplies
of
all
he
wanted
.
This
proposition
was
partly
made
by
gestures
,
and
partly
by
a
few
Spanish
words
which
Paganel
managed
to
make
out
.
His
offer
was
accepted
,
and
Glenarvan
and
his
learned
friend
started
off
with
him
at
once
.
They
walked
at
a
good
pace
for
an
hour
and
a
half
,
and
had
to
make
great
strides
to
keep
up
with
the
giant
Thalcave
.
The
road
lay
through
a
beautiful
fertile
region
,
abounding
in
rich
pasturages
;
where
a
hundred
thousand
cattle
might
have
fed
comfortably
.
Large
ponds
,
connected
by
an
inextricable
labyrinth
of
RIOS
,
amply
watered
these
plains
and
produced
their
greenness
.
Swans
with
black
heads
were
disporting
in
the
water
,
disputing
possession
with
the
numerous
intruders
which
gamboled
over
the
LLANOS
.
The
feathered
tribes
were
of
most
brilliant
plumage
,
and
of
marvelous
variety
and
deafening
noise
.
The
isacus
,
a
graceful
sort
of
dove
with
gray
feathers
streaked
with
white
,
and
the
yellow
cardinals
,
were
flitting
about
in
the
trees
like
moving
flowers
;
while
overhead
pigeons
,
sparrows
,
chingolos
,
bulgueros
,
and
mongitas
,
were
flying
swiftly
along
,
rending
the
air
with
their
piercing
cries
.
Paganel
's
admiration
increased
with
every
step
,
and
he
had
nearly
exhausted
his
vocabulary
of
adjectives
by
his
loud
exclamations
,
to
the
astonishment
of
the
Patagonian
,
to
whom
the
birds
,
and
the
swans
,
and
the
prairies
were
every
day
things
.
The
learned
geographer
was
so
lost
in
delight
,
that
he
seemed
hardly
to
have
started
before
they
came
in
sight
of
the
Indian
camp
,
or
TOLDERIA
,
situated
in
the
heart
of
a
valley
.
About
thirty
nomadic
Indians
were
living
there
in
rude
cabins
made
of
branches
,
pasturing
immense
herds
of
milch
cows
,
sheep
,
oxen
,
and
horses
.
They
went
from
one
prairie
to
another
,
always
finding
a
well-spread
table
for
their
four-footed
guests
.
These
nomads
were
a
hybrid
type
of
Araucans
,
Pehu-enches
,
and
Aucas
.
They
were
Ando-Peruvians
,
of
an
olive
tint
,
of
medium
stature
and
massive
form
,
with
a
low
forehead
,
almost
circular
face
,
thin
lips
,
high
cheekbones
,
effeminate
features
,
and
cold
expression
.
As
a
whole
,
they
are
about
the
least
interesting
of
the
Indians
.
However
,
it
was
their
herds
Glenarvan
wanted
,
not
themselves
.
As
long
as
he
could
get
beef
and
horses
,
he
cared
for
nothing
else
.
Thalcave
did
the
bargaining
.
It
did
not
take
long
.
In
exchange
for
seven
ready
saddled
horses
of
the
Argentine
breed
,
100
pounds
of
CHARQUI
,
or
dried
meat
,
several
measures
of
rice
,
and
leather
bottles
for
water
,
the
Indians
agreed
to
take
twenty
ounces
of
gold
as
they
could
not
get
wine
or
rum
,
which
they
would
have
preferred
,
though
they
were
perfectly
acquainted
with
the
value
of
gold
Glenarvan
wished
to
purchase
an
eighth
horse
for
the
Patagonian
,
but
he
gave
him
to
understand
that
it
would
be
useless
.
They
got
back
to
the
camp
in
less
than
half
an
hour
,
and
were
hailed
with
acclamations
by
the
whole
party
or
rather
the
provisions
and
horses
were
.
They
were
all
hungry
,
and
ate
heartily
of
the
welcome
viands
.
Robert
took
a
little
food
with
the
rest
.
He
was
fast
recovering
strength
.
The
close
of
the
day
was
spent
in
complete
repose
and
pleasant
talk
about
the
dear
absent
ones
.
Paganel
never
quitted
the
Indian
's
side
.
It
was
not
that
he
was
so
glad
to
see
a
real
Patagonian
,
by
whom
he
looked
a
perfect
pigmy
--
a
Patagonian
who
might
have
almost
rivaled
the
Emperor
Maximii
,
and
that
Congo
negro
seen
by
the
learned
Van
der
Brock
,
both
eight
feet
high
;
but
he
caught
up
Spanish
phrases
from
the
Indian
and
studied
the
language
without
a
book
this
time
,
gesticulating
at
a
great
rate
all
the
grand
sonorous
words
that
fell
on
his
ear
.
