To the left lies a broad stretch of gravel strand, beyond which is the narrow water fed by the overflow of the dam; to the right, the broad steamboat channel rolls between us and the Ohio hills, while the far-reaching vista downstream is a feast of shade and tint, by land and water, with the lights and smoke of New Cumberland and Sloan's Station faintly discernible near the horizon.
Upon the branches of these trees, and some others, we found ants nests made of clay, as big as a bushel, something like those described in Sir Hans Sloan's Natural History of Jamaica, vol. ii. p. 221, tab. 258, but not so smooth; the ants which inhabited these nests were small and their bodies white.
So we got up a poster and had it printed, telling what they all think of the G. & M." he paused, and his eyes twinkled "I wouldn't mind handing one to that Superintendent just for the fun of seeing him when he read it. It told the farmers to come around to Sloan's lumber yard with their wagons." "And you carried it across in the wagons?" "I guess we did." "Isn't it a good ways?"
My husband's name was David Sloan. I don't know exactly how long he and me were married. It was way over twenty years. My license got burnt up. "You know I couldn't be nothin' but a Christian." Interviewer's Comment Peggy Sloan's memory is going. She is not certain of the number of children her mother had although she knows there were more than seven because she was the seventh.
He was interrupted now and then by a shrewd question, an exclamation, or a word of assent, and, after he had finished the account, said: "Well, that is all there is to report. What do you think?" "Who is Thomas W. Presby?" Sloan's question was abrupt. "The owner of the Rattler, the mine next to us." "He is?" the question was explosive. "Ah, ha! The moth in the closet, eh? So that accounts for it!
It was a little handkerchief your own," he insisted. "When did you lose it?" Amaryllis perceived that the question bore upon their safety, and puckered her forehead, thinking. "I wiped my fingers with it, after I'd taken Tod Sloan's bridle off," she answered, "There was a sticky mess of hay and chaff on them from the bit, and I remember wiping it off with my handkerchief."
At this moment, however, the brigades of Bee and Bartow comprising the 7th and 8th Georgia, 2nd Mississippi, 4th Alabama, 6th North Carolina, and two companies of the 11th Mississippi, with Imboden's Battery of four pieces recently arrived with Johnston from Winchester, come up, form on the right of Sloan's 4th South Carolina Regiment, while Wheat rallies his remnant on Sloan's left, now resting on the Sudley road, and the whole new Rebel line opens a hot fire upon Burnside's Brigade.
Staff officers at it all night long, McDaniels division off at daylight, while we go out ahead of Slayton's troops. Reede was in beastly good humor when he brought the orders; that usually means a fight." "Any artillery?" "Sloan's and Rocke's batteries are with us; did not learn who went out with McDaniel's. Longstreet has crossed the White Briar."
It was Reuther's first experience of so precipitous a climb, and under other circumstances she might have been timid; but in her present heroic mood, it was all a part of her great adventure, and as such accepted. The lawyer eyed her with growing admiration. He had not miscalculated her pluck. As they were making a turn to gain the summit, they heard Mr. Sloan's voice behind them.
