The story of Rosa's rescue came slowly and in fragments, for the news of O'Reilly's return caused a sensation. His recital1 was interrupted many times. So numerous and so noisy did these diversions become that Norine, fearing for the welfare of her patient, banished2 O'Reilly's visitors and bore him and Branch off to her own cabin, leaving the brother and sister alone. In the privacy of Norine's quarters O'Reilly finished telling her the more important details of his adventures. He was well-nigh worn out, but his two friends would not respect his weariness; they were half hysterical5 with joy at his safety, treating him like one returned from the dead; so he rambled6 disjointedly through his tale. He told them of his hazardous7 trip westward8, of his and Jacket's entrance into Matanzas and of the distressing9 scenes they witnessed there. When he had finished the account of his dramatic meeting with Rosa his hearers' eyes were wet. The recital of the escape held them breathless.
"As a matter of fact, our get-away was ridiculously easy," he said, "for we had luck at every turn—regular Irish luck. I'm sure Captain Morin suspected that Rosa wasn't a boy, but he was perfectly10 foolish about Jacket and tolerated us on his account. We owe everything to that kid; he's wonderful. I made Morin independent for life, but it wasn't the money, it was Jacket who induced him to bring us clear to Turiguano. He landed us one night, this side of the Moron11 trocha. Since then we've waded12 swamps to our armpits, we've fought the jungle and chewed bark—but we're here." Johnnie heaved a deep sigh of relief.
