Chapter XVI
“How know you that it was a gold mine?” inquired Piñone, visibly surprised at Topsie’s exclamation. “Because, Piñone,” answered the girl, “by your descriptions we recognise the place. It was this mine that we visited with the old man of the Andes, and it was there he died. He lies buried in the bank of flowers which you mentioned, and where you found the little raft. You remember when we rejoined you in the Andes, two years ago, and all we told you?
