Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Trail of the Waving Palm
IT was characteristic of Bantry that even then he did not doubt his luck. And as he sat alone at a small round table in the café of the Hotel de Vista Alegre and sipped his muddy Mexican coffee he re viewed the events that had brought him to Morelos and he wondered curiously whither the versatile goddess Chance would next lead him.
A week before, Bantry had been half-owner of a ?ourishing coffee plantation; and now, except for the few hundred pesos in gold which weighed down his money-belt and occasioned him decided discomfort in the region of his waist-line, he found himself in the predicament of thousands of other nationals to whom the war had brought disaster.
