HOW WE KEEP TRYST AT APPLE
BY ED

-
Twas late in the afternoon CT the
last day of January when we set out
together, Jennifer and I, from the camp
Of conference at Stewards ford.
The military situation, lately so crit
ical for US, had reached and passed one
Of its man subcIimaxes. Morgan's
little army, With its prisoners stin safe
In hand, was on its way northward to
charlottesville in Virginia, and only
the officers remained behind to confer
with General Greene.
TO the others, TIuger snd williams
We're hurrying, up from CheraW to meet
the general at Salisbury; and General
Davidson, with q regiment Of North
Carolina volunteers, was set to keen
the fords of the Catawba.
As for the British commanders in
te3ldings, we had conflicting reports,
Two days earlier Lord CORVALLIS had
burned his heavy BAGGAGE At NaTnsour's
mill, &Id 50 we had assurance that the
pursuit was only delayed. But wneth-
er. when he should break his cacap at
FOrney'S plantation, he would go north
ward after Morgan and the prisoners,
or cross the river at some nearhand
foFd to chase our main, none of our
Scouts could tell Us.
We were guessing ct this, Richard
and I, as we logged on together down
the river road, and were agreed that
could my lord cross the flooded river
without loss Of time, his better chance
would be TO fall upon our main at Sal
isbuTy or thereabOuts. III as To the
possibility OF his crossing, We fell
apart,
Lacking another drop of rain, we
arc safe Tor forty-cight hours yet"
Dick would say: pointing to the brinl-
ming river rolling its brown flood at
our right as we Jared on. And with
Two days start We shall have him burn
ing more than his camp wagons to
