Stuff the craw of the turkey with the force-meat, of which there should be enough made to form into balls for frying, laying them round the turkey when it is dished. Dredge it with flour, and roast it before a clear brisk fire, basting it with cold lard. Towards the last, set the turkey nearer to the fire, dredge it again very lightly with flour, and baste it with butter.

Thus, there were four of us whose commissions hinged upon getting a minimum number of men into camp within fifteen days. The man designated for first lieutenant was Edward L. Craw. Some of Craw's friends thought he ought to be the captain, as he was a much older man than myself, though he had no knowledge of tactics and was in every sense a novice in military affairs.

"They got him over here to where we're goin Goldpan. He held up some fellers that's got a mine called the Craw Door, or somethin' like that. Fetched three of his pals from Denver with him.
