Crossword-Solution: TARTANAS 8 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 8

The four _tartanas_ pulled up in front of the office; and down over their steps numberless worn-out shoes, undarned stockings, dirty, protruding heels began to come, under a flutter of skirts caught up in front over yellow petticoats with black arabesques.

When the _tartanas_ reached the _Pescadería_ the women porters there hurried out to meet them and help the sailors' wives unload.

The fish-women who had been playfully twitting each other an hour before in their _tartanas_ or at the customs house now sat watching each other, whenever a marketer came along, with hostile jealousy.

Along the roads through this mushroom city, that vanished like a fog with the first gales of autumn, street and steam cars dashed full speed, whistling to scare you before they crushed you flat; or _tartanas_ creaked along, their red curtains flapping like banners of pure joy; or crowds of people pressed their way, with the murmur of many, many voices.
