Where there were no houses, the gar- den walls were too high to offer a means of escape, and as they could not fight thelr way back, Drace and Shot- tle were swept onward. Torches _flared, and all sorts of weapons were revealed in the pitiful yellow light— old muskets, swords, pistols with brass barrels from anclent Spanish armories, clubs and plkes that might have served Cromwell. Some of the men looked respectable, others des- perate; they were of many nationali- ties, all anger-smitten and'excited. “What's it all about?” ' Drace ln- quired of a bare-headed o‘}d man who 7 panted beside him.
