About this book
Vine and Olive, or Young America in Spain and Portugal, is a story of travel and adventure by Oliver Optic. Bark and Bill Stout are committed to the brig, which the text calls the ship’s prison, to stand their watches on deck and spend all the rest of the time in the cage till they were ready to recite the lessons in which they had failed. The brig has hard wood slats, two inches thick and three inches apart, and two stools as its only furniture.
The doctor names the Capilla de Santiago, and Sheridan replies that St. James, one of the apostles, was the patron saint of Spain. The legend is said to carry the body of James the Elder by some miraculous agency to Jaffa, where it embarked in a boat for Barcelona. The text describes a procession in which Christ and the two thieves on the crosses rise above all the others, and the Virgin Mary is the most noticeable figure, dressed in an elegant velvet robe.
