With the exchange of another word

thirty years later did I realize what
the clay mud of Yellow Banks, at the
edge of the Indian wilderness, when
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois and Jeffer-
son Davis Of Mississippi stood in ON
radeship with elasped hands.
We had unlOaded perhaps a quarter
of our supplies, when an officer sudden
ly appeared over the crest of the bank
and hailed the captain. There was a
tone Of authority in his voice which
caused us to knock off work and lis
ten.
"Is Captain Corcoran there? I bring
orders from headquarters. You are to
discontinue unloading, captain, retain
the remainder of the provisions ON
board and prepare at once to take on
men,"
"Take on men? We are not to return
south, them"

tion-up the Rock. You better get
busy
He wheeled his horse and disap-
peared, leaving the angry captain
venting his %displeasure on the vacant
air. Kirby, evidently from some posi-
ton across the deck, broke in with a
sharp question.
"What is that, Corcoran? Did the
fellow say you were not going back to
st. LOUISE"
"That's just what he said. We've
got to nose our way up Rock river,
with a lot of those measly soldiers
aboard. Here you, Mapes, stop that
unloading, and get steam up-we've
got to put in a night of it."
But" insisted Kirby in disgust,
"I'm not going up there; aren't there
any boats going down."
"How the h should I know? Go
ashore and find out-you haven't any
thing else to do"
The men below knocked off work
willingly enough and, taking advan-
tage of the confusion on board, / en-
deavored to creep up the stairs and
gain a view of the upper deck. But
both Mapes and the second mate made
this attempt impossible, forcing me
into the ranks of the others and com.
polling me to restow the cargo. So far
as I could perceive, no attempt to de-
part was made by anyone, excepting
q big fellow with a red mustache, who
swore profanely as he struggled
through the mud, dragging q huge
valise. .
The situation puzzled and confused
me. What choice would Kirby and the
deputy make? II onc up Rock river

men had chosen officers from out their

these exercised their authority very
largely through physical prowess.

this soon after tying up at the landing.
A tall, lank, ungainly officer, with a
face so distinctly homely as to instant
" attract my attention, led his com-
pany of men up the river bank, and
ordered them to transport the pile Of
commissary stores from where they
had been pr~omiscuously thrown to a
drier spot farther back. The officer
was a captain, to judge from certain
stripes of red cloth sewed on the
shoulders of his brown jean blouse,
but his men were far from prompt in
obeying his command, evidently hav-
ing no taste for the job. One among
them, apparently their ringleader in
incipient mutiny, an outstanding bully
with the jaw Of a prize fighter, took 1t
upon himself openly to defy the officer.
