After he has proved himself capable in the eyes of his comrades he does n't have to go about telling them how good he is . It is a saying that heroes are always modest , but they are not really modest . They just keep quiet , because they know their deeds are better talkers than they are . Miller and I had despatched an orderly to inform Laguerre of our whereabouts , and at three o'clock in the afternoon the man returned to tell us that we were to join the General in the plaza . On arriving there we found the column already drawn up in the order of march , and an hour later we filed out of the town down the same street by which we had entered it that morning , and were cheered by the same people who eight hours before had been firing upon us . We left five hundred of Garcia 's men to garrison the place and prevent the townspeople from again changing their sympathies , and continued on toward Tegucigalpa with Garcia and the remainder of his force as our main body , and with the Legion in the van . We were a week in reaching Comyagua , which was the only place that we expected would offer any resistance until we arrived outside of the capital .
