endured more hardships than any
other American said Col. Herman
dez. From where Lieut.. Rowan land

to where he left, on the north coast is
across the widest part Of the island
with a guard of only four men he
pushed through part Of the way on
foot and with hardly a stop for rest
he reached Bayamo on May l., where
he met Gen. Garcia Five hours
afterwards we started for the north
coast. Lieut.. Rowan did not stop for
ar instant until his mission was ac-
complished, exhausted though he was.
For four days and nights we hardly
left our saddles. 1t is a ride did not
think Lieut.. Rowan will ever forget.
But like the soldier he Is, he never
complained
When we finally reached the coast
near Port Manati on May 5, the only
boat procurable was little dory hard
ly more than sixteen feet long, yet our
orders permitted no delay and six of
us embarked. We were picked up by a
sponger and reached Nassau early on
