You know that I saw him for a moment this morning. He was in deadly earnest. He gave me a ring a trifle but it had belonged to his mother. He would not have done this if he had been playing us false." Bellamy sprang to his feet. "You are right, Louise!" he exclaimed. "I shall go back to my rooms at once. Fortunately, I had a man shadowing Von Behrling, and there may be a report for me.
When the fire crew had returned and the forester was satisfied that there was no further danger, he turned and held out his hand. "Report to me at my office at the earliest possible moment," he said. "If I dared risk being away from my headquarters so long," he added regretfully, "I'd stay here and make an investigation. But a fire may start somewhere else, and here I'd be with my fire crew.
At Jackson, some seven miles from the salt works, we were delayed over night by reason of lack of facilities for crossing the Tombigbee river. The report that the Yankees were coming through had created a panic among the white people; and hundreds, fleeing from their homes, had gathered at the river, waiting and clamoring for an opportunity to cross.
In the above report it will be observed, that there are some apparent discrepancies between my account and Captain Frome's.
