called for another shell, but 1t was not to
come yet. The Marblehead moved into the
channel to rake across the brush, but 1t
was daylight Monday morning before she
got into position. The guerrillas had then
ceased their firing and nothing more was
done.
Lieut.. Neville's band was still in ambush
when the Marblehead displayed her colors
and her men sent up a cheer. This was too
much for Lieut.. Neville, who yelled. His
men also cheered, and so did his Cubans,
who jumped up and yelled for the flag and
Cuba Libre.
