Who Comes There?
Business connected with the firm
•of which I was junior partner com
piled lire to visit Sau Francisco.
On the train was a tall, soldierly
appcaviug man, whose acquaintance
I made. lie told me of au adven
ture hejhcd.
It was a personal adventure, and
the gentleman, an officer of the ar
my, would not care to see his name
in prin f .
"It was during the Mexican war,
when I was a sub in a cavalry regi
ment, that I found myself on duty
at Vera Cruz. Tempted by the
high mountains in the vicinity, the
leautiful scenery, and above all the
superb hunting, I sallied forth early
one morning accomranied by no one
save my Newfoundland dog.
"I WHS an ardent sportsman, my
double-barrelled gun worked to a
charm, and not until the deepening
shades of evening, accompanied by
an unmistakable growl of thunder,
did I give a thoug.it to the flight of
time or the importance of retracing
my steps to the city.
"It was about the time that the
bloodthirsty and cowardly Canales
had ordered every Mexican to join
the army and commanded that no
quarter should be granted to the
hated Americans.
"I had not anticipated danger
from the enemv, unless it might be
in the shape of some small bands of
guerrillas lurking amid the moun
tain gorges, actuated more by the
hope of plunder than by patriotic
motives.
"I will not attempt to say how
many thousand feet I was above the
level of the sea, but I found the ele
vation sufficient even for the tried
and practiced nerve 3 of a seamen,
had he been placed in my position."
"There is little twilight, you
know, in the tropics. Tue sun had
disappeared in the folds cf an im
mense cloud wflieh was rapidly
spreading itself over the entire heav
ens, while from its sibh dcoths
darted lurid sheets of lightning, fol
lowed by the increasing roar of
thunder, which already found an
echo through the valleys and gorges
of the mountains.
"I did not fancy a wet jacket,
ar.d whistling for my dog, an ani
mal to which I was warmly attach
ed, I was on the point |of retracing
my steps down the rough moun
tain road, when the jingling of
spurs and accoutrements, the
trampling of horses, and the hoarse
word of command was sufficient
for me to draw back into a tall tuft
of grass and Spanish bayonet grow
ing beside me.
The dog crouched at my feet,
growling ominously, as if conscious
of the danger his master was in, and
faith, I did not much like the situa
tion I found myself compelled to
face.
A mmber of Mexican lancers
were before me preparing to bivouac
for the night, and my retreat down
the road was out of question.
"High, precipitous rocks hemmed
me in on three sidts, through which
the road I had traveled had been
originally cut. The outlet was now
in possession of the lancers, while
in front of me the steep side of the
mountain, verging almost on to a
precipice, sloped toward the city.
"To remain where I was would be
only to court death, a nameless fate,
an unknown grave for discoyery was
certain to follow when the sentinels
should be posted.
"Cautious'y I examined the
smooth sides of the precipice, cover
ed here and there by a network of
vines, clinging to the crevices and
rifts ia the rock for its uncertain
life. Further on I beheld a dark,
irregular line disappearing in the
murky depths below. I strained
my eyes to the utmost, for the
gloom of night and the mists of the
storm, which threatened every mo
ment to burst above my head en
veloped all objects in darkness and
uncertainty.
But tor once fortune favored me,
ad I never iaii claim to being a
favorite to the fickle jade. The dark
l : ne proved to,be a deep, dry gully,
the channel of some mountain
stream long since dried up.
Bathow to reach the. friendly cov
er ? That w>s the question which
puzzled me.
A sudden com motion among the
g lyly-trapps I gentry behind me
s >on decide I my course of action.
They had kindled a small camp
hiv, wore abjut to cook their cya
ning meal, and a down moil—tall,
strapping fellows, were radiating
from the main body i.i different di
rections to perform the duty of sen
tinels.
One in particular was making for
the friendly clump of wide-spread
ing limbs, in hopes possible to par
tially escape the first gusts of wind
and rain which had begun to sweep
about tho mountain.
Dropping my fowling-piece, and
bidding my noble dog to shift for
himself. 1 swung myself over the
precipice, clinging to the network
of vines, which shook and complain
ed beneath my feet.
The darkness had increased with
astonishing rapidity, and asl swung
over that raylcss void I found it im
possible to pierce the gloom. I
heard the short, sharp howl of my
dog as he darted off in search of
then, amid the rush of the squall,
came the confused shouts of men,
a staggling shot or two mingled
with the crash of the heavy artillery
rolling in the vast expanse above
me.
Depending principally upon the
sirengtn aud endurance of my arms,
I carefully and cautiously felt my
way along the verge of the preci
pice, working in the direction of the
gully, which, once gained, promised
to afford me the means of escape
from the dangers which eucompuss
ed me.
Broad sheets of lightning lit up
with dazzling distinctness tho fear
ful scene, bringing out every undu •
lation cf the rocks, every crevice
and blade of grass, and once, when
I had found a slight support for my
feet, and was giving my aching arms
a rest, I glanced above amid the yel
low glare of the lightning and be
held the fierce, dark-whiskered face
of a Mexican peering over the briuk
his eyes apparently fastened upon
me as I hung suspended and flatten
ed against the cliff but a few feet
below him, while the electricity
twisted and wriUvr*, like tongues
of infernal serpents, around the
muzzle of Ins carbine.
It was a trying moment, my
friend, a situation well calculated to
inspire a feeling of terror in the
boldest. But whether it was rain
which was falling fn torrents, and
diiving fuiiously before the gale,
or the glare of the lightning, which
prevented the lancer from discover
ing me, lam unable to say. At all
(vents 1 escaped his notice, the shot
aid not come, and, watching my
chance in the lulls of the tempest, I
continued my perilous course.
It seemed as if the floodgates of
heaven had been opened, and the
scourging wind sweeping with ter
rific violence around the mountain,
disputing every inch of the way
which I gained with the utmost dif
ficulty, ofteucioies threatening to
tear me bodily from the oscillating
ladder which had served me so well.
I had but little strength to spare
when I at last found myself croucn
mg on the muddy bottom of the old
mountain gorge.
The eai th yielded beneath my feet,
sand and pebbles swirled by, and
rising above the crash of the ele -
meats, 1 heard the increasing roar
of some unknown torrent, as it
swelled and gatnered force for above
me.
Nerved on by the strength of de
spair, I rushed down the steep de
clivity, reckless as to where my feet
might wander. Completely blinded
between the mingled glare of the
lightning and the intense darkness
that followed each flash, I stumbled
on, feeling that every moment my
steps were becoming un3teadiei.
The water was already up to my
knees, and rushing by with a force
that made me grip desperately to
whatever projection I could find
along the side of the ravine.
The inexorable water rose yet fas
ter, and the anger of the tempest
grew wilder still. My strength and
even faculties were failing fast, my
feet were lifted from beneath me,
and quicker than thought I was
rushing helplessly along, enveloped
amid the spray and foam of that
maddening whirl.
I think I must have lost myself
for a moment, hut awakened amid
the darkness and roaring waters,
nearly strangled to death. Another
instant and I was whirled heavily
against some yielding object. I
rallied my strength for a final ef
fort. The next flash revealed the
wreck of a tree, with the roots still
clinging tenaciously to the side of
the bank.
I drew myself out of the rush of
the current, and crawled to a firm
foothold on the shelving bank of the
torrent.
The cool rain revived me. The
terrible strain upon my nervous sys
tem had robbed me to a great ex
tent of the strength and vitality na
tural to my strong constitution:
But my power of endurance was
great. I stumbled forward, feeling
my way amid the debris of fallen
trees, pit holes and huge rocks, all
scattered Dromiscuously about ou
the steep side of tne mountain, un
til a faint glimmer of alight stream
ed tremulously across my path. It
was a welcome sight, and, prisoner
or no prisoner, I made up my mind
to risk life and liberty, and demand
shelter from the terrible strom,
which still raged, but gaye signs of
abating.
I was unarmed ; the only weapon
I had sallied forth with had been '
abandoned on the edjte of the preci
pice, previous to mv attempting the
perilous passage. I felt my heart,
beat faster as I neared tho door of i
that tumble dowed ranch which
loomed up, a huge, mass,
amid the gloom and solitude'of that
wild spot.
A moment's hesitation and I
knocked resolutely at tl.e door.
""Queiro vivo I'' (who comes
there) and I heard the click of a i
weapon.
"I am an American," I replied,
i bitterly, in English. "A United
States otlloer, who has lost his way
in the side of this cursed moun
tain."
"With a jerk the door waa thrown
back on its rsty fringes, revealing
I the figure of a man of brawny pro
! portions, armed to the teeth, and of
I most villainous aspect."
"He held a daring torch -on high,
1 the uncertain light iff which fell
across his scaried and scowling vis
! age. Keenly and deliberately ho
j scanned the torn and tattered re-
I mains of my uniform ; then, in a
voice harsh aud growling, ho de
manded7
"What do you want here ; and
how many of you are there t"
"I replied in the best Spanish I
could master that I was aloue and
repeated my doleful story of being
lost in the storm.
At that moment, to ny surprise
and astonishment, r a y faithful New
foundland, who, by some keen in
stinct of his nature, had succeeded
in scenting me, burst troin the sur
rounding obscuiity, testifying his
joy by leaping upon me and baying
in his deep, powerful tones,
lc was a welcome purprise to me.
! I felt that I had one friend upon
! whom I could rely in cuse of an
| emergency.
The man's appearance was indica
tive of a mixtured ferocity and cun
! ning, while his eye, wild and unset
tled, lit up with an expression I
; could not fathom, as he bade me en-
I ter
j Strange forebodings filled my
heart as I gazed about the recesses
of the hovel, it was almost bare of
furniture, save a table and twobrok
|en chairs. A fire blazed cherily in
; the fiie place, before which were
stretched three dark forms, wrapped
in tattered and greasy blankets.
The gleam of fire-arms, as they lav
piled in a corner, did not escape my
attention ; and you may depend I
did not feel the easiest in ray mind
as I drew up before the fire, with
my dog coiled up at my feet.
In my exhausted state, despite
the danger I felt was lurking about
me, I must have dropped off to
sleep, my head finding a support
against a projection of the chimney.
The low, motionless hum of voices
fell upon my ear, and cautiously re
committing from beneath the visor
of my cap I found that tho three
sleepeis had aroused themselves,
and were in deep earnest consulta
tion with the gentleman whom I
had first accosted.
Straining my f ais to the utmost I
could manage to catch occasional
fragments of sentences as they drop
ped from the lius of the four com
rades, who were as promising can
didates for the gallows as L ever
care to meet again under like cir
cumstances.
The howl ami gush of the gale
had ceased, but the occasional pat
ter of rain drops falling from the
leaves and roof of the ranch proved
that the rain had but recently pass
ed away.
Do von notice the glitter of those
buttons Y remarked one of the
four.
"Curse the buttons !" broke in
another, fiercely ; "of what value
are they Y It's the glitter of gold I
like to see ; and we have alreaidy
wasted to much valuable liuie. I
for one say kill him. If the Yan
kee dog had a lives they
should all be forfeited. He has
come here masked ; he shall not
depart so easily."
"Hush, Juan ; you are too hasty.
The question is will it pay better to
dispose of him ourselves and share
the plunder, or take him to Ca
nales Y lie might come down hand
some. Suppose the fellow should
prove an officer of importance Y"
"B?h 1 Yon talk liko a fool. Do
you not see he is too young to have
gained any importance Y As for
Canales, Carajo I You will get no
thing for your pains from him."
"iMI this I heard distinctly, and
much more which is unnecessary to
repeat. That my life was doomed
wat beyond all doubt ; but I was
not disposed to make a vacancy in
the corps without a struggle, and
especially after undergoing what I
had in escaping from the lancers.
"I felt the blood coursing through
my veins with renewed vigor as I
looked the situation square in the
face. My brain grew clearer as the
irominece of the peril I was in grew
more apparent.
Trie dying embers of the fire era
mitted fitful gleams which fell
across the polished arms of the
scoundrels, piled promiscuously to
gether in the corner of the ranch.
At that moment, and as I was
casting wistful glances at a carbine,
the beetle browed rascal who had
lighted me into the den glided
across the floor, slipping a stout bar
across the door.
"Xow, boys, finish the job, and
tlien share alike," were the words I
heard.
"Every nerve in my body jarred ;
the blood rushed back to my heart
as the decisive moment arrived. Up
to that time 1 had not stirred or
changed my position, leading the
scoundrels to count on an easy vic
tory, no doubt. The odds were
fearfully against me, and as the four
turned their wolfi3h eyes in my di
rection, the clear, ringing notes of
a bugle came rising and falling,
filling the air with its melody.
* 4 A wild cry of joy burst involun
tarily from my lips, a thrill of hope
pervaded my whole being, as I list
ened. It came from my own gal
lant lads—a detachment sent out in
all probability in search for their
missing officer.
My four friends here paused,
uncertain and undecided how Vo act.
They turned for an instant toward
the door, leaving me to take advan
tage of their stupidity.
When they again confronted me I
was HI possession of the coveted
corner, with n ritle to my shoulder,
looking them grimly i the face,
while my dog, his hair bristling
with rage, stood bravely beside me,
displaying his fangs to the engaged
guzc of the greasy four.
"Knife them, lads, before tliey
are atop of us. Put him out of
sight, or we'll all swing, but not one
of theta sti red.
"That dark, death-dealing rifle
barrel had a wonderfully trauquil
izing ♦ ff ct.
"Curses on ye!" shouted the
leader, foaming with rage, as ho
dashed forward, knife io hand.
"Are you all afraid of the Yankee ?
I let wim in bete, and this knife
shall givchiui permission to leave.''
"Perhaps the villian expected to
shako my nerves and cause me to
throw away my shot, but I never
felt firmer, more determined, iu my
life.
I covered his left breast with the
sight of the weapon, and with the
report the scoundrel foil headlong
to the iloor.
"Charging through the smoke the
remaining lh;ee rushed U[H>II me,
but were by the dog, who bur
ied his teeth in the llesh of one of
them.
"I remember striking out with
my clubbed rifle, of parrying with
rapid thrusts, and cheering 011 the
dog, when, by some means, in the
melee, a horn or canister of powder
must have fallen amid the red-hot
embers of the fire.
"It exploded with tremendous
violence, blowing offUie roof of the
house, sending the walls asunder,
and hurling rue to one side, half
su(located and nearly insensible.
"When I fully realized what was
passing about me my own troops
were removing the debris from my
limbs, and the Newfoundland was
licking my face.
"It was as I supposed, a party
sent out in search of my unfortu
nate self, and they were returning
from a bootless search, when the
report of a ritle, followed by an
explosion and the glare of flames,
attracted their attention.
tk Of course, ray friends, wo made
sbort work of tlie three miscreants
who were dragged forth from the
burning wreck. They howled vig
orously for mercy, but that was not
to be thought, of iu their case. A
swing from the nearest bough
terminated their career, and I rode
back to Vera Cruz with my mind
firmly made up that, during the
remainder of the campaign, nothing
should ever attempt me to wander
alone among the hills of Mexico in
quest of game."
