that no enemy could resist- him. He
wielded a sword, the' blade of vvhieh
was five, feet-in length,-as tjiouglr it'
had beeira feather, and. every one who'

Was advanccii' to cut aw*ay the. abatis,
and, next to Major Gibbon, was the
first-man to enter tire--works..- At
Fran-
isuo was about' to dispatch him, bu^
he begged and plead, so hard for his
life, that he forgave him,- and told him
t.o secrete for him the eight horses
which tha-soldiers had left behind
them. Perceiving that Tarleton had
despatched two' other dragoons' in
seareh.of him, Francisco made off into
the adjoining wood, and while they
stopped at L ; house, he, like an old

Fi.nding.his 'situation, dangerous, and

left with his horses, intending to re

ordained that I should not be his exe
