conclusion was forced upon us that all
efforts to release them without an out
side cooperation would bring disaster
upon the prisoners and result in no
good. All projects of that sort were
abandoned, except that of Camp Doug

could effect their release. We yielded
to his firmness, zeal, and persistence,
and his plans were plausible, but treach-
cry defeated him before his well-laid
schemes were developed. Having moth

wish to organize corps to burn New

made to fire the city, but their relian ce
