the start, one Massachusetts, man be-

three officers of the United States ser

felled a tree and the others were called
upon to take hold and lift it up; in
stead of their doing so the five officers
walked away into a swamp and struck
out for old Tennessee and Knoxville.
They had been prisoners of war from
sixteen to eighteen months.
They had been out two days, when
the discovery of the loss of 200 or 300
Union officers was noted at Camp Sor-

handing officer of the Confederate
army offered to give to any family
that brought in an escaped prisoner
the right to name a man in the SER
vice who should be given a thirty days
furlough to see his people. The major
and his party, by good luck, had
crossed the Saluda river and were
concealed upon the other bank when
there was disturbance on the side

comrades, escaping prisoners, recap

able to lift a finger.
They hid by day and marched by
night, always in lock step. SO that
there should be but one track and but
one man would be exposed on rising
the top of a hill. All took turns in
being the leader.
On the thirty-one anxious days and
nights it would take long story to
tell. Once they came near capture by
rebel guerrillas who had but just left
the house to which they came. Ulti
