Beside it was planted the pennon of the glorious apostle St. James, and a great shout of "Santiago!

But his master, like a man of stone, stared at that long gray pennon in the sky.

To climb the billows of the watery green, As stream'd their pennons on the favouring gale: The victor vessel gain'd the sovereign boon; The gothic palace and the gay saloon, Begemm'd with eyes that pierc'd the hiding veil, Echoed to music and its merry glee And cannon roll'd its thunder o'er the sea, To greet that vessel for her gallant sail.
