Remember the Alamo

CHAPTER XIV
22/43

Senor Captain Crockett has stood on the roof all day, and as the gunners have advanced to fire it he has shot them down.

A group of Americans were around him; they loaded rifles and passed them to him quickly as he could fire them.
Santa Anna was in a fury past believing.

He swore then 'by every saint in heaven or hell' to enter the Alamo to-morrow.

Senor Navarro says he is raging like a tiger, and that none of his officers dare approach him.
