Appearance Of the stranser~.
When the strangers first appeared in the
camp of the pacificas y-not a hand was
stretched forth begging aims. not an appeal
was made for charity. All the members Of
the party in starting cut had provided

no one was sorry. Food is scarce and dear
in Matanzas. yet there is food to be bought
with money. and the thought of few
starving country people having something
to eat that day must be our recompense.

count Of what was actually done for the
Americans. That and some further par
