Silas never wasted words. "Who is gone?" I inquired. "Why, them two horse thieves. Just look here." We went round to the east side of the gaol, and there was a hole about two feet deep, and just wide enough to let a man through. The ground underneath the wall was rocky, but the two prisoners had been industrious, had picked a hole under the wall and had gone through. "Where's the Sheriff?"
