so his regard for tho (ioblen Flower
diminished, and he only waited nil op

II - wi II knew the Spanish thirst for

If he sometimes remembered his own
conduct in deserting his commander,
it did not trouble him. lie had a
well-plannc 1 story to explain it.
"Hut the third year passed and the'
fouvlh was growing obi, and yet tho
long.'d for sail had not been seen;
and I'edro be 'an to feel that his stay
