So saying. I turned and cut across

driving the dons before us with^
a tempest of hacks and haws that,
dazed and half awake as they were,
they bad no stomach to stand against,
and finally pinned a big crowd of them
against a corner of the palisading.
But, in spite of the success of our

for others kept flocking out

from their sleep and. taking us between

for awhile for our very lives, with a
grinning circle-of yellow Spanish teeth
ravening at us.on every side.
Then suddenly there was a cry of
ilartu from the great gate of the fort,
tnd about half of our assailants ran off
o defend that point. The hearty IOngish
cheer with which they were re
reived told us that Alee and his lads
tad got in at last.
This was the turning point. A few
