CHAPTER XXI.

The superintendent's house stood on
low bench above the town, looking
out over all the valley, but protected
by a high hill behind. upon the summit
of which was placed a mammoth black
water tank.
In lis architecture the casa grande
was an exact replica OF a hot-country
hacienda, a fiat-roofed. one-storied
square OF adobe bricks. whitewashed
to keep on the sun and presenting on
three sides nothing but dense trees
planted near for shade. Along the
front was a long arcade. the corredor.
graced by a series OF massive arches
which let in the light and air. Inside
we're low chambers and long passages;
and. behind the patio and garden OF
orange and fig trees.
Built for a sumptuous dwelling. Il
became In q moment a fort and, with
men on the high hill by the tank. Il
was practically impregnable to direct
assault.
As Hooker stepped out on to the COW
cred porch with his saddle-gun In his
hand he became simply one more Of a
band OF excited Americans, all armed
and ready to defend the house to the
last. Some were pacing back and forth
in the corredor. others were hurrying
up from the Mexican quarters with
last belated handful OF women. but the
major portion were out on the open
bench. either gazing north and south
at the scenes Of the distant firing or
engaging In a curiom mad scramble for
any spent bullet that struck.
The fighting. such as there was. was
mostly up the canyon. where a large
party of Sonoran miners had rushed In
pursuit Of the rebels. The firing down
the canyon in the direction OF Old For
tuna had died away to nothing. and for
the moment II seemed as II the futile
charge and retreat was the beginning
and the end OF the battle.
A party Of rebels had penetrated
clear into the town. but II was appar-
emily more by accident than Intention.
treat As for the main command OF
the insurrectos. they were reported OF

where they had surrounded and taken
a small mining camp and captured q
train at the summit
The column to the south-the one
which Hooker had encountered-had
taken to the high hills west OF the
town. and. along the skyline Of the
buttelike submits they could now be
seen In scattered bands making their
way to the north.
The defenders Of Fortuna consisted
Of a rag-tag garrison Of twenty fed
erals and the hot-headed. charging
miners. But apparently that was .
combination hard to beat. for, while
the federals entrenched themselves be-
hind the black tank on the hill and
prepared to protect the town. the So
norans In shouting masses drove every.
thing before them and marched on to
attack Chular.
But In this they made mistake, for
the rebel scouts. seeing the great body
of defenders pressing on up the mar
row canyon. rode back and informed
the tricky Bernardo Bravo. He would
be a poor general indeed who could
not see the opening that was offered
and. while the valiant Sonorans pur-
sued the rebel cavalry up the pass,
Bernardo Bravo sent the balf OF his
thousand men to cut on their retreat
from behind.

arrival Of some storms can be fore
told ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re-
gion of low barometer. which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirl or eddy moves bod
fly forward with the general eastward
drift of about $50 miles a day in our
ATTITUDES. As the lines Of equal pres
sure (isobars) around the low center
crowd closer together. the winds at
tending the storm increase in force.
The forecaster determines the direc-
tton OF movement OF the storm and its
velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
ported. the forecasters know from ex-
perience about how long 1t takes them
to reach our Pacific coast. and then
how long after they will reach the
Atlantic coast. For example, II
storm coming from Siberia drifts east
ward around the North pole and re-
appears in Alaska. 1t should appear In
Washington and Oregon in about two
days; should get to the great lakes in
six days and to the Atlantic coast in
seven or eight days.
Unexpected conditions may delay
storms or divert them from the
straight track just as a refrigerator
car may be thrown of its schedule or
be shipped by accident on a wrong
road. Some Of these storms deplete
themselves by running into regions
Of high barometer which are OF great
er magnitude and extent than the
storm itself. Some of them, however,
travel completely around the world.
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States from
Canada and Alaska, the weather bu-
reau studies the Canadian weather re-
ports. England sends reports from
Iceland. the British islands and CONT
mental Europe, and daily reports come
from st. Petersburg on the conditions
in Russia and Siberia.
