In a moment another rocket went up, this time from the American-French side, and it clearly showed what Joe and Frank both had seen. Six, perhaps seven or eight, men were crawling along, headed toward them. "They are making for the same place," said Jerry. "Exactly," replied the lieutenant.

May 27th. We stopped at Sonoma the greater part of Thursday, to give our horses rest.

I was much delighted in again meeting with this gentleman, and we had a long talk together over the merry times we had when we were both slaying at Washington.
"Flint is second lieutenant, and Sampson chief engineer; and that is all there are of those who were in the Bellevite.

"Lieutenant," began the colonel, severely, "this is my own affair, and I'll trouble you " The lieutenant made an obedient gesture. "All right, colonel, all right," he said.

By this time my Lord Lieutenant the now Duke of Ormond's army was quite dispersed, and himself gone for Holland, and every person concerned in that interest shifting for their lives; and Cromwell went through as bloodily as victoriously, many worthy persons being murdered in cold blood, and their families quite ruined.
The only cause he had for uneasiness was the presence of the rebel lieutenant; if he should find opportunity to talk to the men, he would soon make known the true state of affairs.
