He has been having adventures enough," Gaston de Rebers said.
One held up in his right hand a white belt, token of peace on the frontier. "Lord A'mighty!" said Fletcher Blount, "be they Cricks?" "Chickasaws, by the headgear," said Terrell. "Davy, you've got a hoss. Ride out and look em over." Nothing loath, I put the mare into a gallop, and I passed over the very place where Polly Ann had picked me up and saved my life long since.
Christopher regarded him blankly for a moment, and then joined lightly in the general mirth. "Oh, you mean Will Fletcher," he returned.

On April 20, 1914, the President asked Congress for authority to employ the armed forces of the United States in demanding redress for the arbitrary arrest of American marines at Vera Cruz, and the next day Admiral Fletcher was ordered to seize the custom house at that port.
