Captain Ramón bade the woman guard the _señorita_ well, and then hurried from the adobe building. Just in front of it he stopped to look over the scene. Dead men were scattered on the ground at a distance. There were more dead men around the huts, where the crew of the trading schooner had made their last stand.
The wounded were shrieking and groaning, and some of the pirates were giving them a rough surgery. Others were hurrying the _caballero_ prisoners toward another adobe building, where they were to be kept. Women and children ran beside them, shrieking insults, hurling small stones.
