Il was supposed to be a pretty compliment
10 the Americans. Bill explained how the
banderillero did it:
SAY, did " see that Teller? He stands
close hauled right up 10 the weather mark

with his lee rail awash. He's been whaling
all right-we was eighteen months in the

out Of New Bedford. and our iron man al

The bull was now very tired. Padillo,
the second matador, came out, bowed,
10 the authorities and asked the Presl-
dents permission to kill the bull. He got
il and il was up TO him to do it. He waved
his bright red cap sheltering his sword,
repeatedly in front Of the bull, stepping
aside just in time TO escape the horns.
The bull was dazed, Then Padillo stood
about ten feet away, poised his sword to
take aim and rushed on the bull. The
sword did not hit the fatal spot. The
thrust was a failure, Bill said:
All he's a bum pointer! 4 guy what's
been in training "a long as he has and amt
got no better sense than to fire before he's

Mighty poor gunn'ry that
Again the matador failed. The sword
went in deep. Muscular contraction, which
had forced the first sword out, failed to
move this one and a capeadore threw his
cloak over the weapon deity and drew
il out. Again there was a failure TO kill,

more lunge at Padillo. who then sank the
sword to the hilt in the proper place and all
was over. There we're cheers, but Padillo
hadn't done well. Bill said:
SAY. he's a bunt REFER and a yardarm
furler. I'll bet thai guys a trimmer,
Ye can tell by the cut Of his jib that he's
in e~verybody's mess and nobody's watch.

II was evident that the bull could not be
escaped easily. All the fighters became
nervous. At last the bull made a thrust
that caught the beautiful iron gray pony
in the flank with a deep wound. The cape
men interfered at once and the horseman
rode aw " to safety. Bill had this TO say:
There. that rider went wrong! The
bull was after him under full sail and was

So the fight went on. Padillo killed
another bull, but he had three failures
at thrusts before the beast sank down
and died. There we're Kisses for him, and
some Of the bluejackets shouted:
Take him out and put him In a minor
