die stick. The point of this they used to stick
in the middle of the floor. sud placing candle
gathered around It evenings. With the point OF
this old bayonet they picked mortar out from
between the bricks. until they loosened and
took out three thiekpeSses Of brick, making a
hole about fourteen by eighteen inches The
outside thickness they left untouched for fear
of discovery, and having carefully replaced the
loose bricks inside and the mortar (Which they
took out IN IS large pieces * possibIc,) they
hung their coats or blankets over the place

answer their purpose at 3 given signal, the
singing OF; sound the banjo the prisoners IN
both rooms commenced taking out the last
thickness OF brick, and when the song ceased
they crept through the hole. They stood there

so dark that they could not see him. when they
heard his footsteps near the end of his beat. y
and just before he wheeled to return, they cross
ed his path in a body. They heard him wheel
and pace back. evidently unconscious that his
prisoners We're on. the wrong side of his path.
