It was then that Morgan announced a decision he had long debated. Sternly, the young Commodore fought down certain qualms lurk-

Poor devils! How wan, scratched and exhausted they looked. “Well, here you are at last, Harry,” he told himself. “Near 12 years you've waited, planned and sweated for such a moment. Only one thing is certain. By this hour tomorrow you will be either king over Granada, or some damned tasty buzzard-bait.” A hundred Europeans and 50 Indians were pitted against the city of at least 4000 inhabitants; by any calculations those constituted long, long odds. . » .
