emergcd from among the rocks. Like a
torrcnt Iio borc dowu upon tlic ussuilant.s!
Ilock back they rolleil! Only one firin
phalaux withstood the rushiug stream. It
was the Irish battalion, and tlie clcar voice
of O'Callagan rose high above the din ol
the frny.
'Siiddy, my boys! strilto for tho honur

'Slrike for tlie namc oflhe three king

As Ihc rock wiihslands thelnshing wav

The scntierpil ltepulilicaus rnllied at

Foot to fnol , breasl to breast

from his oflicers. A Spaiiinrd's sword
uaved ovpr his head a bullet strtick the
neck of his horse.and tho brave slccdstag
iicrcd beupath his inastcr. Mina sprung
forward, aud a sabre-cut brouglit him to
tho carlh. The General's fate sccmcd

'To thc rescue!' ihontcd Ilenry Fowler
to the Irish captain, who, forccd to re
Irrat from ilm rocks, hnd just reachcd the
scene; 'Bolivir is iu dangpr.'
'Coine on, thiu,' was llie responso of
O'Callagan, nnd logciher they plungcd to

At once a trumpct was lieard far up in

I'aez, who siopping not to join thc army
ol Cedeno nnd Anhualpgui, had dashed
boldly ou to disposess the Spaniards of

Bolivar heard iu the mounlaiiis. Thc
