A small gunboat came down from Guantanamo, four miles away, at the beginning of the bombardment, but she put back with all speed after having approached within range. Soon after the enemy had been driven away, the steamer Panther arrived with a battalion of marines under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Huntington.
For you must remember that it will be some time before the escape of the Montijo family is known; probably not until the Maranon has travelled all the way to Fernando Po and back if she is indeed to return to Havana, which, by the way, is by no means certain.
