the wound was, and then glanced over
the counter. The room was empty,
and the noisy chatter OF the troopers
could be heard down the road. Ed

into the dense marsh beyond. He was
safe, for II would have been a very
hard thing for u guide who knew all
about the marsh TO have found him,
and impossible for the union troops,
who knew very little about the local

OF the rank reeds and made his way
to a house which stood short dis

hungry. His rap brought q young

with joyful cry and dragged him
into the house, which belonged 70 Ed

Edelin, went back to theswamps so astos

made his camp in the very center Of the
swamp. upon little island only a few
feet square, in a wilderness Of reeds
and mud. There he lived for several
months until he was fortunate enough
to escape and join the southern army.
Every morning during his stay IN the

on the marsh. and the men At the store
would say: There's Dick Edelin, get
