Pôrto Velho

After that the engines were driven full, for the pilot hoped to get us to Porto Velho by nightfall.

We watched the men at work for a few days and nights, and judged we should be at Porto Velho for a month.

There was a man who looked like a sensational ruffian who boarded us one morning at Porto Velho, and said he had come to find me.

He said it was safer to keep to the ship during the month we had still to spend at Porto Velho.
