The outlaws were thrown into wild disorder as result of Pedro's feroet- ous attacks X portion of the hut had been blown m. thus forcing him and his followers to retreat behind rock. Lopez raging like furious crater, attempted to send his men after the old slave. But they hesltated.
 At the foot of the cliff stood the saviour of Liberty still introducing bis now method of warfare. Every time one of the Mexicans attempted 10 close Tn on him he reached for another stick of dynamite. He was terror to behold.
