Chapter of Music to sing a solemn Te Deum, at which the munic.i.p.al body attended. On the next day a ma.s.s of thanksgiving was said, with exposition of the Holy Sacrament throughout the day, and a sermon was preached by the canon superior, Don Josef Icaza Cabrexas. Lastly, a very solemn funeral function, with magnificent display, did due honour to their memory who for their country"s good had laid down their lives." Mrs. Elizabeth Murray, wife of H.B.M."s Consul for Tenerife and author of an amusing book, [Footnote: _Sixteen Years of an Artist"s Life in Morocco_, &c. Hurst and Blackett, 1859. I quote from vol. i. chap. iv.] adds certain local details concerning Nelson"s ill-fated attack. It is boldly stated that during the rash affair the Commandant-General and his staff remained safely inside the Castle of San Cristobal, and that when the English forces captured the monastery the Spanish authorities resolved to surrender. This step was opposed by a sergeant, Manoel Cuera, who, "with more familiarity than is usual when soldiers are separated so far by their respective ranks, placed his hand upon the shoulder of his commanding officer and said, "No, your Excellency, you shall not give up the Plaza; we are not yet reduced to such a strait as that."" Whereupon the General, "a.s.suming his usual courage, followed his sergeant"s advice, and continued the engagement till it was brought to a termination equally honourable to Englishmen and Spaniards."

Chapter VII.), is said to mean clear water, here a perfect misnomer; it is miry as the Mersey. The "molten gold of the Gambia River" is only the fine phrase of some poetic traveller. Low land loomed on both sides, with rooty and tufted mangroves, apparently based upon the waves, showing that we approached an estuary, which soon narrowed from thirty miles to seven and to two. Three buoys, the outermost red, then the "fairway" with chequers and cage, and lastly white without cage, all at a considerable distance off the land, marked the river-bar, and presently a black pilot came on board from his cutter. We made some easting running along sh.o.r.e, and gave a wide berth to the Horseshoe Bank and St. Mary"s shoal portwards, to African Knoll and Middle Ground starboardwards, and to a crowd of other pleasant patches, where the water was dancing a breakdown in the liveliest way.

Chapter II.] The first gold was discovered on his second voyage by Goncalo Baldeza (1442) at the Rio de Ouro, the cla.s.sical Lixus and the modern El-Kus, famed for the defeat and death of Dom Sebastiam. [Footnote: I have noticed it in _Camoens, his Life and his Lusiads_, vol ii. chapter iii. The identification with the Rio de Onro is that of Bowdich (p. 505). Another Rio de Ouro was visited in 1860 by Captain George Peac.o.c.k (before alluded to), "having a French frigate under his orders." The "River of Gold" of course would become a favourite and a ba.n.a.l name.]
