“Once in Guatemala he obtained employment quickly, and then began to recover something of his former spirits. He ascribed his vision to his overwrought imagination and was beginning to hope that his friend would yet appear, when a letter was received from a relative in Salvador. It not only told that the friend had been shot by the government soldiers, but described the wounds of the body after it was dead. Mojarieta declares that the description accurately portrayed the vision he had of his friend, and believes that his friend’s spirit, being unable to rest or wholly throw off its desire to take passage on the steamer, had come on board and was occupying that berth.”
