position in a hollow in the rocks where
they could reach him only from the front
and that only by climbinb up over lit

again and again. but he kept them on by
shooting them as they reached the top OF
the hill. He had 100 rounds OF ammuni-
ton and fired on %. hitting his enemies
forty times and killing thirty OF them.
The insurrectos acknowledged that he
killed eighteen. and his figures are prob
ably correct. At their first charge he
killed five. This made them halt and he
had chance to reload. At their second
charge he again aiiied FIVE. and after
that they were more careful He shot

kept them at bay for two days and
nights.

succeeded in breaking through and ran
into a cornfield. where he quenchcd his
thirst by sucking the water which had
collected in the joints of the corn. The
corn was high and the insurrcctos lost
him. He had come out upon the road
again when he saw what he thought was

pairing to shoot at them when he saw
that they were Americans.
