My men have returned empty-handed once more." "For which mercy may Heaven be praised!" I burst out. He scowled at me; then he laughed evilly. "My men have returned all save three. Captain Lucagnolo with two of his followers, has undertaken to go beyond the area I appointed for the search, and to proceed to the village of Cattolica.
It is from a letter written before the end of September, less than a month after his arrival: "My leisure moments are occupied in writing an article on the 'Present Condition and Future Prospects of the Catholic Faith in the United States, for the Civilta Cattolica. They have promised to translate and publish it."
