Transcriber's Notes:

Obvious punctuation errors corrected.

The illustration that was originally on page 271 was moved to 269 so
that it would not interrupt the flow of a paragraph. This was also done
with the plate originally on page 277. It is now on page 274.

Many and varied were the hyphenations in this text due to the different
stories. Examples are: battlefield and battle-field, and bodyguard and
body-guard. These variations were retained.

Page 156, although the original does have "Ireland", possibly "Iceland"
was meant (within sight of Ireland)

Page 159, "Cortes" changed to "Cortes" (first took Cortes)

Page 237, "slik" changed to "silk" (silk--of rich and)

Page 248, "miles" changed to "feet" (seven thousand feet above)

Page 261, "sacrified" changed to "sacrificed" (reserved to be
sacrificed)

Page 266, "Atzec" changed to "Aztec" (dismay of the Aztec)
