BOUND CAPE HORN — VALPARAISO — SANTIAGO. 133 



I am quite sure Lima some day will be swallowed up by 

 an earthquake or burnt like Sodom and Gromorrah for 

 its damnable iniquity. People in Santiago seem to jog 

 along thinking of nothing at all ; a guitar, a bundle of 

 cigaritos, a little wine, and a little spree now and then, 

 and Carajo! who's going to break one's back with work? 

 '^See Naples and die/' Stuff! live in Santiago, and 

 have a good time of it; that^s their recipe, and i' faith 

 I think they are right.
