Ich the general stiffly returned. The boys, taking their cue from their
new acquaintance, followed his example. "I am afraid that your first
experience with the insurrectos was a rough one, senores," said the
general, with one of his sad smiles, using very fair English. "No
rougher than we must expect," rejoined Jack crisply. The lad by now had
begun to have an inkling of the situation. Evidently Bob Harding was a
soldier of fortune fighting with the insurrectos against the troops of
Diaz, while they themselves were supposed to be more of the same brand.
Evidently they had been expected by Ramon's subterranean river, and in
taking the boat they must have forestalled the real Con Divver, Jim
Hickey, and Ted Rafter. Jack caught himself wondering how long it would
take the latter to ride over the mountains and discover the imposture.
"We are on our way to our bivouac farther on, gentlemen," said the
general, with a wave of his hand, as if to dismiss them. "Captain
Harding will introduce you to your brother officers and later on I will
assign you to duty." The boys saluted once more, as did Bob Harding,
and, still following the young soldier of fortune, they rode toward the
rear of the column. The brown-skinned soldiers cast many glances out of
their wild eyes at them as they loped back, evidently wondering at the
youth of Madero's new recruits from across the border.
