The chains were red hot.
After landing at Guaymas a severe and hotly contested battle was fought between the Mexican regulars and militia under General Yafiez, 4o the number of about four hundred, and Connt Raousset and his unfortunate followers, of the same number. The battle lasted three hours, the Mexicans using artillery.
REMINISCENCES OF A RANGER. 217 The Count's men were dumbfounded at being attacked, whereas they had expected to be received as liberators. This surprise gave the Mexicans ...the advantage. The Count performed prod- igies of valor, and after a loss of forty-eight killed and seventy- eight wounded he surrendered, was tried by military commis- sion, condemned and shot on the beach at Guaymas, meeting his fate like a Christian hero. He met his fate with so much dignity and firmness as to excite only admiration and respect on the part of the gentle people whose chains he wished to break.
When I come to think of it I remember that Don Luis del Valle was arrested, tried and convicted in the United States District Court for setting on foot a filibustering expedition.
