G. & T., II, p. 165.) The action was defended by Bülow as the 'justified repulse of a hostile attack. Fire was opened by the Venezuelan fort, when the Panther in the justifiable exercise of her functions in the blockade was steaming over the bar into the lagoon. No American or British Admiral would have done otherwise' (XVII. 274). Nevertheless, the effect in America and England was injurious to Germany and tended to destroy faith in her protestations. The incident did not affect the course of the negociations respecting the claims against Venezuela.
