General Nelson at Maysville was instructed to collect all the men he could, and Colonel Gill's regiment of Ohio Volunteers. Colonel Harris was already in position at Olympian Springs, and a regiment lay at Lexington, which I ordered to his support. This leaves the line of Thomas's operations exposed, but I cannot help it.
We'll put up this dead-light, and take a double turn on the key." With these words the captain got out the shutter of the door, put it up, made it all fast, and locked the door itself.
