American consulate and bullfighting in Teneriffe port tale
An excerpt describes the American consulate scene in Teneriffe with anti Spanish sentiments and potential trouble if Buffalo sailors landed. It notes bull fighting as the main attraction in a large suburban arena, where burrows and camels haul loads revealing only portions of their bodies.
