They not orly learned the doctrine, but discussed together the sermons and instructions in the church and in their houses; indeed, so concerned were they about this matter that they seemed to pay no attention to anything else.
The major wrote to him again, informing him that his son Orly had been killed in action while bravely doing his duty as a soldier. General Woodbine had his orders; and the information obtained by the scouts showed that he had no mission on this part of the frontier of Tennessee, and he must wait for further instructions.
The lieutenant was glad to escape the necessity in that presence of informing his father of the death of his cousin; for this was a family matter, aside from military routine. "I was glad you did not ask that question then," added Deck. "I understand you, Dexter; for when I saw Sandy in the ranks I looked for Orly Lyon; but I did not see him. Was he badly wounded?" inquired the commander.
It was evident that he was moved by the news, though he always controlled himself; for the fact that his two sons and two nephews were liable at any time to be struck down in their youth was present to his mind when he had time to think of such things. Orly was only sixteen, and he was the first of either his own or his brother's family to pass over to the other shore.
"How is Lieutenant Lyon?" inquired the captain with no little anxiety in his tones and his expression. "I reckon he's got a sword-cut on the arm; but he's right side up, and don't say nothin' about it." "What were the losses?" "We had two killed and four wounded." "Who were the killed?" "Orly Lyon and Barron." "Both new recruits, and one of them is the nephew of Major Lyon."
Ours is with the main body," replied Deck; and the Confederate officer returned to his men. "Who are the killed in our platoon, Life?" said Deck, when the sergeant came to the lieutenant for further orders. "I don't like to say so, Leftenant; but your cousin, Orly Lyon, is one of them." "Poor fellow!" exclaimed Deck.
