     summary: Taking Martin round to the back of the shed, Barney showed him a row of troughs, about three feet square, close to the edge of a pond of water. Seeing that no one intended to fight with him, and that a crowd of boys strove to hold Martin Rattler back, while they assured him that he had not the smallest chance in the world, Bob turned towards the kitten, which was quietly and busily employed in licking itself dry, and said, Now, Martin, you coward, I'll give it another swim for your impudence.

     summary: I have to-day tendered my ultimate resignation to the Government of Chili, and am not at this moment aware that any material delay will be necessary, previous to my setting off, by way of Cape Horn, for Rio de Janeiro, calling at Buenos Ayres, where I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you, and where we may talk further on this subject; it being, in the meantime, understood that I hold myself free to decline--as well as entitled to accept--the offer which has, through you, been made to me by His Imperial Majesty. In the interval between this recognition of my services and my return to Rio de Janeiro, an unfortunate change had taken place in the Councils of His Imperial Majesty, introductive of persons more favourable to the interests of Portugal than to furtherance of the judicious measures contemplated by His Majesty for the consolidation of the newly-constituted empire.

     summary: Of these the most unscrupulous was Zenteno, who, previous to the revolution, had been an attorney at Conception, and was a _protégé_ of General San Martin--carrying with him into State Administration the practical cunning of his profession, with more than its usual proportion of chicanery. The Chilian force amounted to 4200 men, General San Martin, to the great disappointment of General Freire, being nominated Captain-General--the force under his command was designated the liberating army _(Exercito Libertador)_.
