capataz

One morning, in the absence of the capataz, one of the men struck him, because he had delayed in fetching the water.

The capataz shook his head with a dissatisfied air; his investigation was far from satisfying him.

The capataz alone did not appear to place any great confidence in the guide so singularly met.

One of them was an Indian; the other the capataz recognised at a glance as the man who had come to the hacienda that morning.

Don Martial regarded him with such an air of amazement that the capataz began again laughing heartily.
