Reino Unido. 6. Las maquinas de toda especie, los buques de vapor, los rieles de ferrocarriles, las herramientas mecanicas y agricolas, las armas blancas y de fuego y una infinidad de otros objetos se deben a esa industria. 7. En el norte de Espana, especialmente en Bilbao se trabaja el hierro en grande escala. 8. El rio que atraviesa dicha poblacion presta (gives) fuerza motriz a varias fabricas situadas en sus orillas, y sirve tambien al regadio de los campos y huertas. 9. Escarmentados por el fracaso de la huelga de los mineros, los obreros hiladores se dieron a partido admitiendo las condiciones ofrecidas por los patronos, evitando asi el cierre. 10. Patronos y obreros deberian trabajar armoniosamente y fundados en la justicia; el capital y el trabajo no pueden prescindir el uno del otro. EXERCISE 2 (64). Translate into Spanish-- 1. The steamer ran aground on the Spanish coast but the crew were saved. 2. People are apt to forget (se olvida facilmente de) the teachings of history (historia). 3.

I do not mean to say that they wanted to deceive him. 7. When prices improve we shall be willing (estaremos dispuestos) to sell. 8. I do not know what effect this had on the market. 9. If I knew, I should be able to act accordingly (de conformidad). 10. I do not think he knows (_subj._) what suits him best. 11. The Directors are not in the least (absolutamente) disposed to launch upon (lanzarse a) a large foreign trade, so that the operations of the concern (compania _or_ casa) remain confined practically to the inland market. 12. We received a claim on our last shipment but we refused to (rehusamos de) entertain it as the goods were jobs (generos imperfectos) and were sold as they were with all faults (imperfecciones). 13. We are sorry our customers should have suffered any loss, but we cannot make it good, and we shall stand our ground (insistiremos en eso). LESSON XXXIII. (Leccion trigesima tercera.)
