dreadful howl, as ghpitched as
dogs, and before the sound was well
out of him thrust headlong forward
and crashed down at our feet. The
gang in the door thereupon set up
great roaring and cursing. and in the
midst of it four or five of them dashed
recklessly in. The foremost bent for
ward, and I saw his hand go out with
a pistol in it, but before he could fire

the threshold. The others hung in the
wind moment, whereupon Capt. Sell
