No
rifles
,
if
you
please
,
dear
admiral
,
"
he
said
.
"
It
was
a
whimsey
of
mine
once
to
compile
a
dictionary
of
the
Carib
lengua
.
So
,
I
understood
your
order
.
Perhaps
now
you
will
--
"
He
cut
short
his
words
,
for
he
heard
the
dull
"
swish
"
of
iron
scraping
along
tin
.
The
admiral
had
drawn
the
cutlass
of
Pedro
Lafitte
,
and
was
darting
upon
him
.
The
blade
descended
,
and
it
was
only
by
a
display
of
surprising
agility
that
the
large
man
escaped
,
with
only
a
bruised
shoulder
,
the
glancing
weapon
.
He
was
drawing
his
pistol
as
he
sprang
,
and
the
next
instant
he
shot
the
admiral
down
.
Don
Sabas
stooped
over
him
,
and
rose
again
.
"
In
the
heart
,
"
he
said
briefly
.
"
Señores
,
the
navy
is
abolished
.
"
Colonel
Rafael
sprang
to
the
helm
,
and
the
other
officer
hastened
to
loose
the
mainsail
sheets
.
The
boom
swung
round
;
El
Nacional
veered
and
began
to
tack
industriously
for
the
Salvador
.
"
Strike
that
flag
,
señor
,
"
called
Colonel
Rafael
.
"
Our
friends
on
the
steamer
will
wonder
why
we
are
sailing
under
it
.
"
"
Well
said
,
"
cried
Don
Sabas
.
Advancing
to
the
mast
he
lowered
the
flag
to
the
deck
,
where
lay
its
too
loyal
supporter
.
Thus
ended
the
Minister
of
War
's
little
piece
of
after-dinner
drollery
,
and
by
the
same
hand
that
began
it
.
Suddenly
Don
Sabas
gave
a
great
cry
of
joy
,
and
ran
down
the
slanting
deck
to
the
side
of
Colonel
Rafael
.
Across
his
arm
he
carried
the
flag
of
the
extinguished
navy
.
"
Mire
!
mire
!
señor
.
Ah
,
Dios
!
Already
can
I
hear
that
great
bear
of
an
Oestreicher
shout
,
'D
u
hast
mein
herz
gebrochen
!
'
Mire
!
Of
my
friend
,
Herr
Grunitz
,
of
Vienna
,
you
have
heard
me
relate
.
That
man
has
travelled
to
Ceylon
for
an
orchid
--
to
Patagonia
for
a
headdress
--
to
Benares
for
a
slipper
--
to
Mozambique
for
a
spearhead
to
add
to
his
famous
collections
.
Thou
knowest
,
also
,
amigo
Rafael
,
that
I
have
been
a
gatherer
of
curios
.
My
collection
of
battle
flags
of
the
world
's
navies
was
the
most
complete
in
existence
until
last
year
.
Then
Herr
Grunitz
secured
two
,
O
!
such
rare
specimens
.
