lie adds that there is another expedition on foot and
that the ill success Lopez and his handful OF followers
had not in the slightest degree, ampened the feeling
in favor OF the enterprise 1t urged that if the whole
Spanish army could not prevent Lopez from landing,
that would be easy to land at any time larger force

bers would have been ours. There nothing more
imposing than the activity OF the Commander General
Armero. He stood the deck of the steamer Pzarro
urging the engineers 10 put on steam. At first

breathed; The matches to the guns were lighted. :
Coward, onward" the only sound that
broke the silence of the ocean, which they ardent
ly hoped would soon resound with the shouts
OF victory. They merit all praise from their county,
a strange land. 1t was in their power to punish the
pirates, but they controlled their just vengeance They
deserve credit for their torbearance".
