Ned did not reply, but watched through a loophole. He had seen a glint of bronze in the wood, and presently he saw the Mexicans pushing a cannon from cover. "They have artillery," he said to Ward. "See the gun. But I don't think it can damage our walls greatly. They never did much with the cannon at the Alamo.
"I'm not so sure that he'll send enough," said King. "His men are nearly all fresh from the States, and they know nothing of the country. It's hard for him to tell what to do. We started once to the relief of the Alamo, but our ammunition wagon broke down and we could not get our cannon across the San Antonio River. Things don't seem to be going right with us." Ned was silent.
Having kept along the bank of the Pecos till reaching the Alamo, he turned up the creek, and is now en bivouac in its bottom, some ten miles above the confluence of the streams. A pretty spot has he selected for the site of his encampment.
He would have gone so far! I have looked forward to a great career for him, and had such pride in him. It's too hideous!" In January, 1915, Carl took up his teaching again in real earnest, commuting to Alamo every night.
As he persisted in wearing arms, he has been taken to the Alamo and disarmed." "It is a great shame! An infamous shame and wrong!" cried Antonia. "What right has any one to take my father's arms? No more than they have to take his purse or his coat." "General Santa Anna " "General Santa Anna is a tyrant and a thief. I care not who says different." "Antonia! Shameless one!"
All that day Hardy rode up the Alamo until he stood upon the summit of the Juate and looked over the divide to the north, and still there were no sheep. Not a smoke, not a dust streak, although the chill of Autumn was in the air. In the distant Sierra Blancas the snow was already on the peaks and the frosts lay heavy upon the black mesa of the Mogollons.
I say as an American, that Texas is ours by right of natural locality, and by right of treaty; and, as I live, I will do my best to make it American by right of conquest! Comrades, I do not want a prettier quarrel to die in" and looking with a brave, unflinching gaze around the grim fortress "I do not want a better monument than the Alamo!"
We must either have more men to defend this city or we must blow up the Alamo and be ready to leave it at a moment's notice." "Why were such favorable terms given to General Cos and his troops? I cannot understand it." "I will tell you an amazing fact.
They will lay down their arms!" Ned felt his body growing colder and colder, and there was a strange tingling at the roots of the hair. Now the people upon the roofs were shouting their utmost, and the voices of many women united in one shrill, piercing cry. But he never turned to look at them. His eyes were always on the charging host which converged so fast upon the Alamo.
"When the news is spread that every man stood firm to the last I think it will light such a fire in Texas that Santa Anna and all his armies cannot put it out." "Did you see a boy called Ned Fulton in the Alamo, a tall, handsome fellow with brown hair and gray eyes?" asked Obed White. "Often," replied Mrs. Dickinson. "He was with Crockett and Bowie a great deal."
