Davis to get on behind. Then the
captain spurred his horse without de-
liyering the balance of the money.
"You can go plumb to hell; I'm go
ing back" the captain shouted as he
across the river. When Cap
tain Matlack dismounted, Fennell
said, he shook the money in their
faces.

their experience once across the
river" said Fennell. I'VE asked them
if they had good time. Davis said:
