As soon as the "army" landed on the const of Venezuela it was' assailed by local coastguards and gendarmerie. The invaders at first put up a stout resistance, but they wore handicapped by the fact that none of the guns worked, and they soon retreated to the ship in dis order, leaving their gallant generaı dead on the field of battle, with the opposing commander-in-chief (the coastguard officor) mortally wounded, and a dozen others of both sides more or less seriously injured.

Seeing that the cause was lost the army put to sea again, and shortly afterwards surrendered to a Bri- tish warship, which later handed over the invaders to be tried at Hamburg.

One cannot always expect Sut- cliffe to succeed, and when he does fail it is up to someone else to fill the gap.
