| Front | -Porque me han muerto -respondió el general-, contra toda ley y contra toda razón y usanza de guerra, dos soldados de los mejores que en estas galeras venían, y yo he jurado de ahorcar a cuantos he cautivado, principalmente a este mozo, que es el arráez del bergantín. Y enseñóle al que ya tenía atadas las manos y echado el cordel a la garganta, esperando la muerte. |
