On October 9 Roberts occupied the Siah Sang ridge, overlooking Cabul, and on the next day entered the citadel, Bala Hissar, to inspect the charred and blood-stained ruins of the British Embassy. In the embers of a fire he and his staff found numbers of human bones.
If he secures a boat and crosses the lake the expedition will be ruined. This man who has just come across declares Captain De la Place knows nothing about our army as yet. But if Simon Halpen reaches the fortifications " 'Siah rushed back to his company and sent them to search the bank of the lake.
But before the horn was blown for dinner there were two arrivals on the scene, one joyfully welcomed by all and the other rather unexpected but not less welcome to many of the boys. 'Siah Bolderwood entered the clearing from a forest-path at almost the same instant that a lithe young figure appeared from the direction of the creek. Enoch ran to his old friend and hugged him in his delight.
'Hiram, sez she, 'ef yeou'll stay to hum, merry some smart girl, an' kerry on the farm, I'll leave yeou the hull er my fortin. Ef yeou don't, I'll leave every cent on't tew Siah, though he ain't done as waal by me as yeou hev.
"What do you mean?" asked Greenleaf, between anger and terror, at this brutal jest. "Why, he's dead, you know, and ben layin' up there on the side-hill a fortnight." "Take me to the house, nevertheless." "Lee's house? 'Siah Stebbins, the lame shoemaker, he's jest moved into't. Miss Stebbins, she can't 'commodate ye, most likely; got too many children; a'n't over an' above neat, nuther."
Falkirk watched from his window what was to be done next. 'We'll have to put up, if it be onconvenient, said the driver. 'Can't ask a team to do more'n that at a time, sir. 'Tain't no tavern, neither but there's Siah Sullivan's; he's got fodder, and food, allays, for a friend in need. 'How far is Lupin? called out Mr. Falkirk. 'Aren't we on the Lupin road?
"Huh!" exclaimed his elder brother, "you can't carry the old musket even, and march." "Yes I can!" "No you can't!" But the mother's voice recalled the boys to their better behavior. "I will talk with 'Siah Bolderwood about your joining the train-band, Enoch. And if you go to Bennington with Enoch, Bryce, who will defend our home? You must stay here and guard mother and the other children, my boy."
And he was glad that 'Siah Bolderwood had promised to remain at or near the Hardings' home while he, Enoch, was at Westminster. Under Lot's advice the two boys said nothing of the little scene at the inn and the next morning Mr. Lewis went with other stable men of the town to call upon the justices who would preside at the court when it met.
While some miles away, however, the group of officers riding ahead of the main body, suddenly descried a tall woodsman striding through the forest toward them. "Who is this chap, Major?" demanded Allen of his friend Warner. "Had I not sent 'Siah Bolderwood to watch Old Ti like a cat at a rathole, I'd declare this to be he." "And so it is, Colonel!" returned the other.
With a rattle of accoutrements a cavalcade of horsemen descended the bluff to the tiny cove. Enoch recognized Colonel Allen, Major Warner, the stranger, Arnold, and Colonel Easton, the commander of the Massachusetts and Connecticut forces. "Praise the Lord, 'Siah!" cried the hearty voice of the Green Mountain leader. "We're arrived at last. 'Twas like a task of Hercules to get here.
