| While we were in Tehuantepec the jefe received notice of his father's death. |
| We have described our delightful encounter with the jefe of Isla de Mujeres. |
| When the last patient was seen, the team was invited to the home of the jefe for a meal of eggs, vegetables, and tortillas. |
| When we refused, he muttered something about reporting us to the jefe and disappeared. |
| He said that he had been to see the jefe, and that the jefe said my wishes must be obeyed. |
| It is still, however, the cabecera, and the jefe is a man of some force and vigor. |
