Excerpt: ... party who had carried off Dolores. To my great joy my party commenced to trot, and within ten minutes had caught up the party in front. There was a good deal of talking in Spanish, which I did not understand. My eyes were fixed on the figure wrapped in the black cloak and lying across the saddle-bow of one of the ruffians.

I flew off like an arrow back towards the party we had just left, followed by a spattering fire from the men. I had left when they fully realised what had happened in the darkness. I hastily fixed the black crape mask across my face as I cleared the wood, and made full gallop for Dolores.
