Gannaway. Atkins jumped OF his horse, and
in another leap placed himself far down the
bank and behind q large chestnut. Those be-

road, so as TO put the brow Of the hill between
them and danger. The alarm was needless, for
My follower was no more disposed to stand
over the fire than ] was, and sprang forward
alongside of Me- Gannaway took hold of My
halter and led Us both away from the fire, and
then addressed himself to the task of restoring
order among his scattered followers.

across the country reach Sourmash just before
daybreak, and descend on the sleeping Yam

could get there in time to make his attack be-
woods in the neighborhood, and wait until the
next daybreak-a delay that was full of danger
of discovery and defeat. Hence his impetuous
haste. To this I owed My escape from repeti-
tion of terrible beating.

Gannaway's injunction. "Get him along some

We made good progress, and by sundown had
got SO near Sourmash that the landscape began
to have q familiar look.
OF the terrors and miseries Of that night
shall never forget how through all the long,
weary hours We hurried along like pack of
ravenous wolves gliding through the darkness
upon a sheepfold. Every moment was one of
excitement, suspense and fear. We stumbled
over the boulders and gullies in the rough road

seemed to loosen My teeth, at least every half

five minutes. Then, We were in constant dread
lest We fall into an ambuscade As we stole
past the houses Of well-known Unionists, men
stole around to the rear to watch that no one
left to cut across the country and carry tidings
Of an advance.
