We had got fairly under way when the rebels fell back to the fort, and McClernand, coming up, ordered us to fall back, and march up the river. It seemed to me then, and afterward, that it would have been better to have marched straight to the rear of the fort, as we started to do.
The sight of him stiffened me like a drink of brandy, and as the young aide closed the door in my rear, I stepped instantly forward to the table, facing him who I knew must be in command, and removing my hat, saluted.

Lead the way, Hugh, your eyes are younger and sharper than mine, and if you chance to fall over a cliff, pray give a yell, like a good fellow, so that I may escape your sad fate." In the course of half an hour's rough scramble, the party gained the crest of the Goat's Pass and descended in rear of the native village.

The cannon continued to boom forth, and presently came a cry from the rear of the mansion: "Fire! fire! The house is on fire!" The report was true, and as the soldiers left the place up went a large cloud of smoke, followed by the bursting out of flames in several directions. Such was the state of affairs when Jack and his followers reached the roadway in front of the plantation.
Long before darkness had fallen upon Sturatzberg there were many cafes doing little business to all seeming, which, nevertheless, were crowded with men hidden away and waiting. Such a crowd waited in the long room at the rear of the Toison d'Or.
I want my boat back!" The occupants of the ARROW were looking to the rear again, and one Happy Harry, Tom thought shook his fist. "Ah, wait until I get hold of you!" cried Mr. Damon, following his example. "I'll make you wish you'd behaved yourselves, you scoundrels! Bless my overcoat! Catch them if you can, Tom." There was now no doubt of the intention of the fleeing ones.
