Sim Hicks crossed to where they were at work. "Have you got enough?" he asked with a sneer. "No! And by thunder, you ain't got all that's coming to you, neither," growled Jud. Mr. McGowan leaned heavily against Hank Simpson. As it was apparent that his mind was beginning to clear, Sim Hicks came closer.
"Then, let me hear you say you love me!" entreated the man. "Mack McGowan, I love you!" She drew back a pace. "Now, you may look at me just once, though I don't look like much with my eyes all swelled up and red." He drank in the beauty of the face before him. "Thank God! You do love me! It isn't just pity."

They were doing an exceedingly important part of their daily business: sipping their late afternoon cocktails. Calhoun Bennett joined them.
Subsequently, as Acting Major General, commanded McGowan's, Laws', and Bushrod Johnson's Brigades. On return of McGowan to duty, was assigned permanently to command of Kershaw's Brigade.

Chief of Police Curtis had got word that McGowan was in Santa Barbara. He was a zealous, Vigilance man. A schooner was chartered, and a strong, armed force sailed on her for Santa Barbara, to capture the fugitive.
