cred on the wharf. and in the midst of
the discussion a drunken Japanese fired
a shot at the Americans, who fired into
the crowd. CarranZa soldiers returned
the fire and the boat withdrew, leaving
behind two officers who were arrested.
Explanations then were exchanged by
the warship commander and the Car
