From Tampico to Chiapas the nation journeyed easily south, not regretting too loudly the lands left behind, not crowding or jostling rudely on the highways, not failing to pause for siestas when the sun was hot, but traveling steadily in a quiet resignation that seemed beyond resignation the extension of a gracious will.
The boat flew the United States flag both at the bow and stern. Two of the men were in the boat when arrested and hence were taken from United States "soil." Admiral Mayo, senior American officer stationed off Tampico, immediately demanded the release of the sailors. Release was ordered after the paymaster and the sailors had been detained about an hour.
While sitting disconsolately on the piazza of the little hotel in Tampico, he was approached by an American: "Well young fellow I've heard that you have had pretty hard luck. What do you intend to do?" "That's just about what I would like to know myself." "Well, I think I can post you," said his new acquaintance as he leisurely seated himself and hoisted his heels on the rail.
"We can ask the protection of the American Ambassador," said Donald. Gen. Sanchez smiled kindly. "The American Ambassador may be asked to leave." The boys looked serious. "Do you really think it is as bad as that?" asked Adrian. "I fear so. Later dispatches from Tampico state that the American Admiral has demanded a salute of twenty-one guns to the American flag. I know Gen.
Two by two, in rigid order of rank they were escorted into the saloon, and the eloquent popping of corks was as music in their ears. The Admiral took his place at the head of the table; the rest disposed themselves suitably. With a muttered excuse, Dan slipped out of a near-by door; the stewards disappeared; every one on the Tampico stole quietly away.
Failing to hear of Juarez, we steamed up the coast to the Island of Lobos, and on to Tampico, off which we found the United States steamer Paul Jones, which, drawing less water than the Susquehanna, carried us over the bar to the city, then in possession of the Liberal party, which recognized Juarez as their constitutional President, but of Juarez and his whereabout we could hear not a word; so we continued up the coast and anchored off Brazos Santiago, December 7th.
"I wonder if you have received any further news about the Tampico incident," Dave smiled, questioningly. "Nothing further, I fancy, than was sent by wireless to all the American warships in these waters." "Is that incident going to lead to war?" Darrin asked. "It is hard to say," replied the consul, musingly. "But the people at home are very much worked up over it."
Another day's tremendous hard work." "January 16th. We had again a very severe day's work." "January 17th. Road improved very decidedly, but still a good deal to do. We managed, by getting a little ahead with our repairs after the army encamped for the night, to get along without seriously delaying the column." We arrived at Tampico on the 23rd.
Thus thinking, he came to attach greater significance to the letter. He would go on to Boston when the Tampico returned to the United States. In the meantime he was Captain of a Howland boat, and he would obey orders, he smiled grimly, and go to the dinner. The dinner was a memorable one in San Blanco City. The revolution had been shattered. The Rodriguez Government was supreme.
The Secretary's plea for mercy was sent through me at New Orleans, and to make speed I hired a steamer to proceed with it across the Gulf to Tampico. The document was carried by Sergeant White, one of my scouts, who crossed the country from Tampico, and delivered it to Escobedo at Queretaro; but Mr.
