They would have as readily surrendered to an infant bearing the authority of the Union, as to Acting Master Morris of the tug Harrison, who is himself an Englishman. The number thus surrendered was three hundred and seventeen men, including officers.

Trevlyn, "he may find the trail there." They went to the station; the dog sniffed hurriedly at the platform, and in a moment more dashed off into the highway leading to Harrison Park. "Him got him!" cried Pietro; "him find my master!" The whole company joined in following the dog.

At the already mentioned Vincennes conference Tecumseh agreed with General William Henry Harrison his unrelenting foe and who judged him as harshly as any of the frontiersmen who feared and hated him that in case of an outbreak of hostilities the women and children on both sides were to be protected and respected.
