you that Garbalds star, far from being in the de
cline, seems rising brighter every day. and that Sicily
beccmes free 1t will be owing TO him.
As you will remember, he LEFT the neghborhood Of

between the going out and returning of the steamers
Had not been for this the landing might have failed.
One Of the steamers struck rock just at the entrance
Of the port while the other went in as close possible
