After dinner the ladies tried to get a nap, but such of them as re-appeared on the piazza later agreed that it was perfectly useless.
Immediate action was needed, for the warlike mountaineers were beginning to revenge the robberies of the adventurers by waylaying their convoys and killing their stragglers.
