Here my father, Ben the Whaler, Anderson, and others would sit, having a commanding view of the Thames and the vessels passing and repassing in the summer-time, with all the windows open, and enjoying the fresh air and the fresh smoke from their pipes in winter-time surrounding the fire and telling their yarns. It was an admirable arrangement, and Virginia and I always knew where to find him.
And how the lesson that the Germans learned that day was repeated later on will be told in the next book of this series, entitled: "Army Boys on the Firing Line; Or, Holding Back the German Drive." Not but what the victory had cost the Americans dearly. Every regiment engaged had its own long list of killed and wounded. "Poor old Fred," said Frank, referring to Anderson.
Mineral, I mean?" "Of course," Dan Anderson replied. "We all have claims. This is the only valley in the West, so far as I know, where there is good coal on one side, and paying gold quartz on the other. But that's the case here. We haven't overlooked it." Barkley whistled. "I wouldn't ask a better show than you'll have here," said he, contemplatively.
There they saw Colonel Edwards holding the bridle of his own animal. A moment later Colonel Anderson and Nikol appeared. "All right. No use waiting longer," said Colonel Edwards.

There was a strange catch in the colonel's voice and Hal glanced at him sharply before touching his horse.

Anderson, recovering some degree of his usual self-possession, remarked, "Your accusation, sir, is unjust. Your wife and myself are friends, and nothing more.
