Lang himself saw n point 70 be
gained IN sending out three or four
parties. provided a sufficient body Of
men would remain to protect the main
treasure. No equal body Of convicts
would dare to tackle an equal number
OF regulators, hence the ~convicts
would also be divided up. so part of
the treasure at least would be saved
And perhaps the convicts would be so
cut up that a sally made by the regu.
lators at a proper time might over
power the convicts themselves. Ac-
cOrdingly an agreement was made
with the men, that at some convenient
place those desiring to do so could
take their share Of the spells and cut
out for themselves.
According to agreement, the next
morning, the regulators split up into
five parties. A confab among the de-
tectives present rnsdlted in at least
one capable. trustworthy man being
placed in charge Of each division, and
unknown to the deserters, each OF the
leaders left his share Tor a goodly
shared of his spells with Lang TO
guard, so that they would be free to
fight without being compelled TO risk
the loss OF treasure.
