CHAPTER XI
THE RETURN OF THE VICTORIOUS KNIGHT-ERRANT
Felix was in the habit of doing what Louis asked him to do, and he discharged one barrel of his revolver in the air; but he thought that doing so was a piece of nonsense on the part of his friend which he could not understand.
"What in the world is that for?" he asked.
"Fire it again, and in due time you will see what it is for," replied Louis, as he discharged the second barrel of his weapon.
"I'll do that same as long as I have a ball in a barrel, if you say so, my darling; but it looks like a waste of powder and lead," added Felix.
"Do you see the captain of the Golondrina just now, Felix?" asked Louis.
"I don't see him; but he was there on the bow not five minutes ago, yelling as though he had a live lobster in his throat. He isn't doing any yelling now."
"He is not, for I saw him go aft about the time we began to fire."
"I suppose he got tired of yelling."
