The information respecting the doings of the Adventure, communicated to them by their fair friends the Senoritas Clara and Dolores, left little doubt in their minds that the crew, thoroughly discouraged at the disastrous result of their adventure in Cartagena, had decided to rest satisfied with the treasure which they had already acquired and which, indeed, was considerable enough to satisfy most reasonable people and had sailed direct for England upon quitting the harbour, too hastily concluding, perhaps, that all the missing were dead; or, if not dead, at least captive beyond all hope of deliverance.
The French were making for the Pyrenees, laden with the loot of a kingdom and encumbered with a motley crowd of non-combatants the wives and families of French officers, fair señoritas flying with their lovers, and traitorous Spaniards, who, by taking sides with the invaders, had exposed themselves to the vengeance of the patriots.
