Helen gave me a hurried account OF
The visit. On entering the camp the
captain had complimented them upon
their bravery, both in the fights that
had occurred and in coming out un-
armed. assuring them, looking ominous-
" at some Of the more cutthroat of his
men, that If any man offered them the
slightest indignity he would shoot him
on the spot. Helen had replied that,
whatever they were, she believed they
were brave and above injuring a wo-

magnitude Of their crimes and babe
