spans n160-n161. Full campaign report: the foreign war and domestic dissensions, 'la sublevacion de las autoridades y vecinos de Santiago', the disillusion of the 24 men who deserted on enemy promises, the short distance between the Mexican and North American forces, the null effect of enemy fire, and the cutting of their water unnoticed. 'en la tarde del dia 14 de Febrero fondeo la Fragta Norte Americana llamada Cyan' [= USS Cyane]; at the sight of her landing party the Mexicans concentrated to fight but the sandy arenal between the belligerents prevented it. In the retreat 'al enemigo se le hicieron en retirada 12 muertos y 8 heridos, y los Mejicanos un Cabo, y el Comandte que funcionaban Como tal' [enemy 12 dead, 8 wounded; Mexicans lost a corporal and the acting commander]: the jornada of 15 February.
