One creature of Fonseca, named Jimeno de Briviesca, carried his insolence beyond the bounds of the endurance even of the dignified and long-suffering admiral, who very properly took him by the scruff of the neck on one occasion and kicked him off the poop of the flag-ship.

With the exception of Alvarado, Castro, and Estenega, the members of the Junta were men of middle age, and represented the talent of California,Jimeno, Gonzales, Arguëllo, Requena, Del Valle.

" Jimeno put his feet on the side rung of Castro's chair, puffed a large gray cloud, and half closed his eyes.

If it be he who is a member of the Junta, he could hardly rule such men as Alvarado, Jimeno, and Castro.

Padre Jimeno, the priest who had officiated at the ceremony, sat at the head of the table; the other priests were scattered among us, and good company all of them were.

JIMENO AGIUS, J.Puerto Rico.
