Wade," he said in his customary cheerful voice, "I made an address at the court house this afternoon, and er the exigencies of my departure led me to commandeer the services of your delivery boy, Tim, I think his name is. What's that?"
Seeing a large wooden box some distance away, they made tracks to commandeer it On the way back an officer met them and queried: "Here, lads, where are you going with that?" "This old egg-box, sir we're taking it along to our dug-out, sir," one of them explained. "Egg-box be hanged!" retorted the officer. "Why, that's the general's roll-top desk!"

The men are very good and I am glad the War Office let me commandeer the boots I wanted the kind they offered me at first wouldn't have done at all for this sort of work.
"I don't care a curse if you kill every darn horse between here and the Landing," he said. "Commandeer all you need and plenty. I don't care what you do. You've got to bring Allenwood back alive, or or break your darn neck." And Belton had needed no urging. He had cut down the month's journey to the Theton River to something like twenty days.
