I escaped to the shore, and I was a hiding among the graves there, envying them as was in 'em and all over, when I first see my boy!" He regarded me with a look of affection that made him almost abhorrent to me again, though I had felt great pity for him.
This was too much for any one to stand, and seizing a gun from a sentinel I pinned one of them to the wall of the guard-house with the bayonet, and the other was bound by the guard. I now released the man I had pinned to the wall, and was glad to find that he was only slightly wounded in the side. He was also ironed and confined in the black-hole.

"The Indian prisoners had escaped from the black-hole! The commanding officer, Colonel Cutler, had sent for Mr. Kinzie to come over to the Fort and counsel with him what was to be done."
