So when they saw among white men a superabundance of good things, the taking of what they saw did not seem the evil thing that it would have been to the conscience of a white thief. keywords: arenas; argentine; ayres; bay; birds; buenos; cape; capital; captain; coast; colony; country; course; cruz; day; days; del; desert; end; fact; feet; find; food; fuego; gallegos; gaucho; gold; good; government; guanaco; head; home; horn; house; indians; island; life; magellan; man; matter; men; miles; missionaries; missionary; near; new; north; panther; patagonia; people; place; port; punta; region; river; sand; santa; saw; sea; seq; settlement; sheep; ship; small; south; states; story; tierra; time; town; tribe; united; ushuaia; water; way; white; wild; work; yahgans; years cache: 39109.txt plain text: 39109.txt item: #3 of 4 id: 42666 author: Dixie, Florence, Lady title: Across Patagonia date: None words: 55992 flesch: 71 summary: WILD HORSES AGAIN--THEIR AGILITY--THE BLUE LAKE--THE CLEOPATRA PEAKS--THE PROMISED LAND.

They have what they call an annual ship from Lima, as they never expect more than one in the year; though sometimes it happens that two have come, and at other times they have been two or three years without any. keywords: bay; board; boat; cacique; captain; cheap; day; days; fire; good; governor; head; indians; island; kind; man; manner; men; morning; night; order; people; place; rest; sea; ship; shore; thing; time; water; way; weather cache: 44193.txt plain text: 44193.txt
