resist the invasion. Up went Lebaudy s
unique flag. Within very short time
he succeeded in occupying three
coast posts and then announced his
intention of making the natives swear
allegiance to him, of founding a city
and of establishing himself sovereign
over territory that was about 400 miles
square and extended from Cape Boja-
dor to Cape Judy
Vague rumors of this fiIibusterinE ex-
petition soon reached Paris and
Madrid. but nothing official was known
until some dissatisfied sailors, who had
served on Lebaudy's yacht Frasquita
and deemed themselves in peril of their
lives from the incensed natives, re-
turned to Las Pampas in the Canary
islands and appealed to the French
consul to compel Lebaudy to repatriate
them TO Havre. where they had been
engaged. Despite his protests that they
had been mutinous and that he had a
right to dismiss them. the consul or
dered Lebaudy to pay their way home.
In the meantime it developed that 1--WE
of their comrades had been abandoned
on the Moroccan coast. ninety miles
from Las Pampas, and in short time
word reached France that a least
three of these sailors had fallen into
the hands of the revengefuI natives.
Then it was that active measures were
taken TO suppress Lebaudy.
On their arrival at Havre some of the
sailors who had been repatriated gave
lurid accounts of their adventures with
Lebaudy. They accused him of having
abducted a Moorish boy, whom he later
released and of having purchased q
Moorish girl from a caravan. a pur-
chase which however came to uaught
on account of the protests of the fair
dan1sel and the men of the tribe. who
compelled their chief to cancel the bar

point the situation was further com
pIicated by the action of the Spanish
authorities at Las Falnas in Selling
