Ingles, who was captured, afterward effected her escape. Among the captured was the famous Mrs. Mary Ingles, whose husband, John Ingles, was killed; but after being "carried away into Captivity, amongst whom she was barbarously treated," according to her own statement, she finally escaped and returned to Virginia."
Unfortunately for the credit of the story about the loss of the boats, which were at the time carefully concealed under the lee of the vessels, one drifted astern, so that our object became apparent, and the guns of Fort Ingles, under which we lay, forthwith opened upon us, the first shots passing through the sides of the Intrepido, and killing two men, so that it became necessary to land in spite of the swell.
Presently she turned to Ingles and spoke to him quickly in a low voice; then, descending the steps, passed out through the lane made for her by the crowd, he following with shaking limbs and bowed head. Warning words had passed among the few invincible ones who waited where the Healer must pass into the open, and there was absolute stillness as Laura advanced.
"On the 5th, the Intrepido and Montezuma, which had been left near Fort Ingles, entered the harbour, being fired at in their passage by Fort Niebla, on the eastern shore. On their coming to an anchor at the Corral, two hundred men were again embarked to attack Forts Niebla, Carbonero, and Piojo. The O'Higgins also appeared in sight off the mouth of the harbour.
He nodded to Mrs. Ingles, who was just moving by with the reluctant William Bates. "And a handsome house, too," declared Rosy. "Still, I suppose that hers, or even Mrs. Bates's, can't be compared with some in London." "Don't be so sure," rejoined Paston.
"You bring up Ingles," the other went on; "he's simply philanthropic as an additional vent to his own energies. You talk about Bates; he merely makes all those benefactions to please his wife. And so with others." "Is that a bad motive the wish to please one's wife by a generous deed?" "I have my wife to please," returned Marshall.
With the blandest of smiles the coachman started his horses, then, turning, he inquired, politely: "'Otel Tivoli?" "No, NO! Follow that carriage!" "No sabe Ingles!" said the coachman. Before Kirk had succeeded in making him understand, the street had become jammed with carriages and the Peruvian mare was lost to sight.
He said to the silent archbishop: "I suppose your lordship knows who I am? . . . I am he whom the Manolos of Madrid call Don Jorgito el Ingles; I am just come out of prison, whither I was sent for circulating my Lord's Gospel in this Kingdom of Spain." He allows the archbishop to put this celebrity on horseback: "Vaya! how you ride! It is dangerous to be in your way."
These monopolies sometimes were extremely profitable: a descendant of the owners of the famous Ingles ferry across New River, on the Wilderness Road to Kentucky, is responsible for the statement that in the heyday of travel to the Southwest the privilege was worth from $10,000 to $15,000 annually to the family.
And now the Spaniard's face lit up as if he fully grasped the meaning of the question. "Si, si, si!" he cried, nodding quickly and pointing right away into the distant valley. "Soldado Ingles! Soldado Ingles!" he cried. "Muchos, muchos."
