"Ay, ay, sir," answered Mr Tabb from behind his pile of biscuit tins and soapboxes.
"Oh! go soak your head." "Don't shoot, Tabb; we won't tunnel any more." "We don't want to get away; we just dig a little once in a while for exercise." "You can't drive us out of the Confederacy with that gun; we have come to stay."
He said, "Massar Tabb turn me out to die by de roadside. I begged him to let me build me a cabin in de woods, and he say if I cut a stick in his woods he'll shoot me." The captain informed J. P.
