10/19 The taller man I had seen once before, the shorter, very many times--in Washington! "Yess," commented my old scientist calmly; "so strange! They go together." "Ah, you know them!" I almost fell upon him. The tall one iss Mr.Peel, a young Englishman; the other is Mexican, they said--Senor Yturrio, of Mexico. He spoke much. But also that other tall one we saw go back--that wass Captain Parke, also of the British Navy. His ship iss the war boat _Modeste_--a fine one. |
