Nathan in the Wagon; be was first struck

son became apparently sensible (thongh |
not really so) when the Wagon and horses |
were pu, in order, and the Captain took |
him back and put him into the wagon to
be carried home. While on their way to the |
Wagon, a large soldier was suffered to
strike Donaldson again with his fist, with
full force and effect. Donaldson was then
laid apparently lieless into the carriage,
