He sat his horse as calmly and firmly as if it had been a part of him. Beneath his hat — ^broad-brimmed, wi...th a narrow loop, and ornamented with a black ostrich feather — spread a forest of hair ; a red beard covered all the lower part of his face. Over his red shirt was thrown an American poncho, white, lined with red, like his shirt. His staff wore the red blouse; and afterwards, the whole Italian legion adopted that colour. Behind him galloped his groom Aguyar, a stalwait negro, dressed in a black cloak, and carrying a lance with a black pennant All who had come with him from America wore pistols and poniards of fine workmanship in their belts, and' carried whips of buffalo skin in their hands."
