Hahdly, suh; il riveh è così accovacciato che il mer perde tempo seguendolo. ma il mercoledì è più sicuro? Non posso dire, suh; i Confederati lo attraversano quando theywish. Ero per andare avanti; York ha sostenuto per rimanere dove westare fino a notte.

Hahdly, suh; the riveh is so crooked that wed lose timeby following it. But wed be safer? I cant say, suh; the Confederates cross it when theywish. I was for going on; York argued for remaining where wewere till night. While we were debating this matter, a shot washeard at our rear and left, seemingly a quarter of a mile away.

Although I did not wish that any man should be hanged, yet I felt immense relief. We can go on now, York ? Oh, yes, suh; theah is no longeh any dangeh, at least fomthose men. But from other men ? Yes, suh; the home-gyuahds ah yo enemies. We must risk them, said I, rising. York led the way rapidly straight through the woods, hiscourse guided by nothing whatever, so far as I could see.
