While the events related in the preceding chapter were in progress, which gave advent¹ to the new era, the manacled savages² would have fared poorly but for the ever mindful benevolence⁴ of Padre Simon, who ministered to their relief after depositing with his traps his godsend, which he averred⁵ came from the source of their misfortunes. His arm warned him to be cautious in his approach to the old savage³, but he could not refrain from the pitying exclamation⁶ “It’s a shame,” when he saw him bound to the links of the cable with its coils for his bed. Placing the food he had brought cautiously within reach, he left with intention of pleading for some aid in mitigation of their painful position, but the question of an equitable⁷ division of the gold trove⁸ diverted his thoughts. But after the ablutions of the succeeding morning, and Antonio’s improvement of the younger savage, his dereliction occurred to his thoughts under the stimulating⁹ inspiration of a somewhat copious¹⁰ oblation¹¹ to memory, which served to render the sincerity¹² of his repentant¹³ remorse
