But the hand of God was upon us. These were Frenchmen, Sir, bloody, barbarous Frenchmen, who had discovered our peaceful retreat, and came to destroy it for ever. I cannot go on, imagine what followed, if you can. The miscreants sprang upon our women and our goods ; we were too feeble, and too few, successfully to oppose them ; and we heard 176 A PYRENEAN ADVENTURE.
in our retreat shrieks to which we could not reply, and wailings which we could not soothe. " The Spaniard became here so violentl...y agi- tated, that his very voice failed him ; but reco- vering his self-command in a few minutes, he proceeded : "Nothing now remained for us, but vengeance. We betook ourselves, eighteen in number, to the neighbouring fastnesses, and choosing Francisco for our leader, we became Guerillas. But we went not beyond the precincts of our own valley. No ; our cry, day and night, was for vengeance, and to obtain it, we hovered round the ruins of our houses, like beasts of prey. Not a French- man strayed from his cantonments who returned alive; and many and many a time have we roused the whole band from their unholy slum- bers with our war-shout.
