Leaving the town and its helpless folk

Doomed to death at a single stroke?

No! Though only a peon born

Heart like his might a king adorn!

Waving his arms to his frightened crew,

Such as remained, a scattered few,

Garcia uttered a warning shout—

"Undile! Vamos!" ("Run! Get out!")

Leaped to his engine waiting there,

Opened the throttle, released the air,
