The soldier looked up: "What would you say," he said, "to bottles of wine bursting in the air, bursting red and bursting white, all day long, all night long? Great steel bottles, large as Chica: bits of bottles, carrying off men's heads? Bsum, garra-a-a, and a house comes down, and little bits of people ever so small, ever so small, tiny bits in the air and all over the ground.
They are formed into bottles, too, for wine and chica; and with them also, stretched on poles, hand-barrows are constructed for carrying earth and rubbish. We met in this region a number of horses and mules without ears, and others with their ears lying flat on their necks.
"Toma!" said the landlord, "they are my best customers; I have had Englishmen in this house of all grades, from the son of Belington to a young medico, who cured my daughter, the chica here, of the ear-ache. How should I not know an Englishman? There were two with Gomez, serving as volunteers.

This at once made them friendly; and begging us to sit down, they brought us a calabash of chica, with which they were regaling themselves, some venison, and a variety of cooked roots, and some fruit. The feast was abundant, if not served in a very civilised way, and we did ample justice to it.
A breach being made in the walls, our soldiers give the assault, and take the place without opposition our sailors at the same time, become masters of all the other strengths near Bocca Chica, and take possession of the harbour the good consequence of this success we move nearer the town find two forts deserted, and the Channel blocked up with sunk vessels; which however we find means to clear land our soldiers at La Quinta repulse a body of militia attack the castle of St.
