For additional contact information:
Even he who had first called out appeared to have become suddenly silent!
For all that the struggle was continuing!
The street in which it was taking place was a sort of narrow passage-- leading from one of the main thoroughfares towards the Piazza Grande-- and not far from the entrance to the Calle del Obispo.
It was dimly illumined by a solitary lard lamp, whose feeble flickering only served to make the path more uncertain.
The rest of the dialogue did not occupy ten seconds of time, before the conflict commenced; and, as the scene of strife was not more than ten paces from where I had paused, another half-score of seconds carried me up to the spot.
I had been thus prompt in rushing to the rescue, because I fancied that I knew the voice of the man who was being assaulted.
I was right. It was Francisco Moreno!
I found him in the midst of five men, forming a sort of quincunx around him; against all five of whom he was industriously defending himself; while they were as busy in the endeavour to get him down.
I could see that the attacking party carried pistols, but did not attempt to use them--perhaps from fear of causing an alarm, and thus defeating their purpose: to all appearance plunder!
The blood ran scalding within my veins. But that very day I had been sickened at hearing the details of an atrocity, committed by these precious pets of our commander-in-chief; and I had mentally vowed, if I should ever chance to catch one of them at their tricks, to make short work with him.
The chance had come sooner than I expected; and I remembered my vow.
The shout with which I interrupted their pastime was almost loud enough to hinder them from hearing the report of my pistol; but one of them caught the bullet that came out of it, and went groaning into the gutter.
I might have shot down a second, or even a third, before they could get out of the way; though they were anything but slow in making disappearance.
I was satisfied with having put an end to one: for this had I done, as was evident from the silent lump of humanity that lay doubled up along the stones.
LIFE FOR LIFE.
He stopped. I could hear his respiration, quick and heavy, as that of a horse halted after a rapid run.
"I hope you have not received any serious injury?" I said, on becoming assured that the only Red Hat remaining in the street was the one lying along the kerb-stone. "Are you wounded?"
"Nothing to signify, I think. A cut or two, perhaps. They're only scratches."
"You're sure?"
"Not quite, caballero; though I fancy I'm all right. I don't feel disabled--only a little fatigued. It was rather quick play, keeping guard against all five at once. I had no chance to get a thrust at them, else I might have reduced the number. You've done that, I perceive. Once more let me thank you for my life."
