My orders were to take this train through to Chattanooga as quick as I could. I can't stop on a suspicion." "No, indeed," assented Si and Shorty. "There's no place to telegraph from till we get to Bridgeport, on the Tennessee, and if we could telegraph they wouldn't pay any attention to mere reports of having seen rebels at a distance. They want something more substantial than that."
