We can't take all of our friends, and it would seem a shame to ask some and not others." "We can decide that question later, Dick. Remember, some of the fellows already have their arrangements made for this summer." "I know Major Colby can't go," said Sam. "He is going to visit some relatives in Maine." "And George Granbury is going up to the Thousand Islands with his folks," put in Tom.
But suddenly George Granbury, who sat nearby, caught him by the foot, and he came down with a thump that threatened to split the stage top from end to end. "It won't do, nohow!" pleaded Peleg Snuggers, the general utility man attached to Putnam Hall Military Academy. "Them hosses is skittish, and " "Oh, stow it, Peleg," interrupted George. "You know those horses couldn't run away if they tried.
But most of the candidates were good-natured about it, and especially Dick and Tom Rover and George Granbury, Fred Garrison, and Larry Colby. It had been decided that the cadets should first elect the major, then the three captains, and then the six lieutenants, all to be selected according to the highest number of votes received. The voting began on Monday immediately after breakfast.
Strong, if you will hold the plank, I'll crawl out and get hold of Granbury," came from Dick, in a determined voice. "Rover, can you do it?" "I feel certain I can. Hold tight, please." Dick leaped upon the plank and threw himself flat. Then he crawled out as fast as he could, until he was on the end over the open water.

"Tell Granbury, Carter, Strahl General! Throw them in there and capture that battery and break that line." The old man vanished once more and rode into the shock and shout of battle. General Strahl was leading his brigade again against the breastworks.
These boys were George Granbury and Frank Harrington, who had been supporting Tom on their shoulders, and Tom himself, who had been dropped into the opening head first by the frightened lads. Realizing that something must be done at once, Mr. Strong ran to the boathouse, which was close at hand, and soon reappeared, carrying a long plank.
Granbury had been notified that Bate was coming from the left, and hearing Ruger marching along the pike in the darkness, he mistook him for Bate, so that Schofield himself, with Ruger, rode along right under the muzzles of the muskets of Granbury's line, in blissful ignorance of the danger they were passing.
