the question Of food came up. Keeping
all together, we moved to the west,
knowing that we should come to plan
tation sooner or later. The best we
could do in the way Of weapons was for
each man to arm himself with club.
The highway was on our left as we
went forward, and we had proceeded
for about mile when we broke out Of
the cover of a thicket and found our
selves upon the road, which took
turn there to avoid a hill. 1t was only
a narrow road, and a couple of jumps
would have given us cover on the other
side, but as we left the bushes we came
face to face with soldier in Confeder
ate uniform. He was sitting down on
stone to rest and was without weapons
of any sort Had the soldier remained
quiet tragedy would have been avoid
ed. At first sight of us he sprang to his
feet, and instead of running away when
he recognized us as escaped prisoners,
which am sure he did, he called on us
to surrender and seized man with each
hand He was only boy, being less
than 30 years old, and not having even
pistol with him it was a foolhardy
thing for him to do. Having brave
heart in him, he acted on impulse. The
idea with all Of us was that we had
lblundered upon party Of soldiers sent
tout in search, and no one hesitated to
Iuse his club.
\ 1t was only after the young soldier
| had gone down under our blows that
we found he was alone and unarmed.
! Two men lifted up his body and bore it
into thicket across the road, and when
at safe distance we examined his in
juries and did all that was possible un-
der tho circumstances to revive him.
Some of the blows had fractured his
skull, and at the end of two hours he
was dead When tell you that we were
sorely grieved over the matter, I do not
half express our feelings In one sense
we had the moral and legal right to at
tack him and defend ourselves, but when
we saw him lying dead we could not
help but feel that there was innocent
blood on our hands. On an envelope in
his pocket was his name, George Will
hanson, and he also had with him ten
days. furlough, granted by the COM
mander of the post at Salisbury nine
days before. He was one of the guards
at the prison pen, then, and had beer
home ON a furlough and was making
his way back.
We found a spot where tree hat

mainder of the day no one seemed t.

leaned on his rife and looked down on
us, and as we gazed at him each one OF
us felt that we were helpless. By and

"Any one Of yo' bin sick?"

off we could not hope to evade pursuit
with Clark as burden on us. We talk
ed it over and concluded that it might
as well be surrender without an effort,
and we were feeling gloomy enough
when the man returned. To our surprise
he was alone and had basket on his
arm and jug in his hand. The basket
contained meat, bread, pickles, pie and
other good things, and the jug held
cider He placed them before us and
said:

So deaf seemed heaven to their prayers al

A cloud arose in the sky at dawn,
Dark and heavy with promised rain
And when poured plenteously down at last

so let no spirit, though far apart
From happy fortune its path may stray,
Refuse to honor, with voice and heart,
The dear tradition we keep today.
For never soul in all the earth,
In hut or palace, in any cline,
But has some blessing or comfort worth
The giving thanks at this joyful time
We who are happy, whose lot is crowned
With every favor that life can bring,
How can we fail, as the day comes round,
To offer thanks, to rejoice and sing?
We who are wretched, whose days are dark.
Void Of all that can bless or cheer,
May still be glad, as its dawn we mark,
That rest and freedom are almost here.
