On the 13th, a detachment of Spanish troops arrived from Lima under Major Camba, who, notwithstanding his superiority of numbers, did not venture to attack our small party, which withdrew to the ships with a number of cattle taken from the Spaniards; Camba writing to the Viceroy so effective a description of his having "driven the enemy into the sea," that he was immediately promoted.
"I don't much care who leads," said Alzura, "as long as we win; and it's about time something was done. The Royalists are getting a strong following in the city again." "Bah!" exclaimed Plaza scornfully, "they're just weather-cocks, twisting about with every wind that blows first Royalist, then Patriot, then Royalist again! It's enough to take away one's breath. Did you hear about Camba?"
'If you appoint this man over them they will break their swords, and I shall be the first to do so. That stopped the game, and Camba was pushed in somewhere else." "It's a wonder he hasn't changed again," I said. "He is only biding his time, like a good many others." "I know nearly a dozen myself," said Alzura, "and one of them is a neighbour of yours, Crawford."
