CHARGE THAT WON FLOTILLA Remarkable Exploit of South American Lianeros When Operating With General Simon Bolivar, . The Llanero of South America lives on horseback. He trades, buys and sells on horseback, and during the war with Spain the Llaneros contributed much toward achieving the independ- éncoe of Venezuela and New Granada, There is related a story of an og easion when, it was necessary for Bollvar's army to cross the Apure to engage Morillo, But Bollvar had no boats and the Apure at this point was wide and deep. The Spanish flotilla was guarding the river opposite to the patriot forces, Jolivar was in despair, Turning to Paez he sald, “I would give the world to have the Spanish flotilla; without It I ean never cross the river.” “It shall be yours in an hour,” re- plied Paez, Selecting 800 of his Llanero lan- cers, all distinguished for strength and bravery, he sald, pointing to the gunboats. “We thust have these flecheras or dle. Let those follow who please.” Spurring his horse he dashed [nto the river and swam toward the flo- tilla. The Llaneros followed with thelr lances in thelr hands, now encouraging thelr horses by swimming beside them and patting thelr necks, now shouting to seare away the crocodiles, of which there were hundreds. At last they reached the other side and sprang from thelr horses’ backs on board the boats, headed by their leader.
