"But first he handed over the paper to the Mayor, and charged him to guard it stoutly, for it was about the most precious thing on earth.
Then we walked clear to the back of the orchard, clumb the rail fence, walked through the meadow a roundabout way and came to the road on the other side of the Tate farm. So here we struck out for Atterberry, so as to walk the railroad to Havaner. We thought we could make Oakford before night. When we got fairly started Mitch said, "Something terrible has happened to me, Skeet it's terrible."
This place was a tolerable long, steep hill or ridge about forty foot high. We had a rough time getting to the top, the sides was so steep and the bushes so thick. We tramped and clumb around all over it, and by and by found a good big cavern in the rock, most up to the top on the side towards Illinois.
Well, one day when the shaft was down about eight foot, the rock got so hard that we had to put in a blast the first blast'n' we'd ever done since Tom Quartz was born. An' then we lit the fuse 'n' clumb out 'n' got off 'bout fifty yards 'n' forgot 'n' left Tom Quartz sound asleep on the gunny sack.
They got it, and he clumb up into the kitchen, dripping and shivering. "You went and baptized me in that water?" he asts the preacher. The preacher says he has.

"But how did she get out?" insisted the agent, coming back to the issue. "Search me," offered the constable. He looked toward the top of the wall. "Clumb the fence, mebbe." "With her dress looking as it does?" "There's no other way.
Used ter be an ol' stompin' ground o' mine. So Dutchy an' me clumb thet big hill back o' whar we halted, an' by gum, down thar in ther gully on t' other side thar's a durned big camp o' fellers." I reined up short, and with uplifted hand signalled the men behind to halt. "Why didn't you tell me this before?" I questioned sternly. "How many were there? and what did they look like?"
An' who clumb off but Lawler an' his trail crew twenty-three of 'em. An' Blondy Antrim in the midst of 'em, lookin' like a sheep-killin' dog. "Well, gentlemen, they was a scene. Warden got his face all screwed up an' couldn't get it unscrewed ag'in. He looked like he'd swallered a hot brandin' iron an' it didn't lay easy on his stummick.
