At anothertime, the Esmeralda being in a more than usually tempting position, the Spanish gunboats ventured out in the hope of recapturing her, andfor an hour maintained a smart fire; but on seeing the _O'Higgins_manoeuvring to cut them off, they precipitately retreated. " In ways like those the Spaniards were locked in, and harassed, inCallao Bay. Good result came in the steady weakening of the Spanishcause. On the 3rd of December, six hundred and fifty soldiers desertedto the Chilian army. On... the 8th they were followed by forty officers;and after that hardly a day passed without some important defectionsto the patriot force. ' Unfortunately, however, there was weakness also among the patriots. San Martin, idle himself, determined to profit by the advantages, direct and indirect, which Lord Cochrane's prowess had secured andwas securing. It began to be no secret that, as soon as Peru wasfreed from the Spanish yoke, he proposed to subject it to a militarydespotism of his own. This being resented by Lord Cochrane, who onother grounds could have little sympathy or respect for his associate, coolness arose between the leaders.
