Explore "The further Adventures of Zorro" by Johnston McCulley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Left behind helpless in the guard room of the _presidio_, Señor Zorro fought to control his emotions, telling himself that he could think out no proper line of action while his brain was in sad tumult.
His case seemed hopeless. He was unable to make an escape, and Captain Ramón was leading the troopers against the pirates. Señor Zorro began wondering whether his good fortune had deserted him entirely. The _señorita_ was in grave peril, and also his friends the _caballeros_, and he could do nothing.
