CHAPTER XXXVIII
16/22

The Adelantado must still, I thought, sail the _Margarita_.

And yet, looking at all things, that exchange of ships should have been made.

A Spaniard, wheresoever found, should have cried "Aye!" to it.
The Governor's officer who still kept by us was not averse to talk.

All those preparing ships in the harbor?
Why, they were the returning fleet that brought Don Nicholas in.

Sailing to-morrow--hence the hubbub on land and water.
