During the afternoon Sam sent Sid Russell, into the town, nominally to buy some trifling thing but really with secret instructions to find out what he could about the British forces, their movements, their purposes and their plans. "Injun go town, too," said Thlucco, and without more ado "Injun" went.
Thlucco was stolidly bent upon doing as he pleased, and the only thing for Sam to do was to take care to conceal the guns from the observation of anybody who might happen to visit the camp. Thlucco went to town every day and enlisted anew, only to desert with his gun each time. Finally he enlisted twice in one day, and the next day three times, bringing to Sam a gun for each enlistment.
"But what can we do with them when you get them, Thlucco?" "Um. Injun no fool. May be red coat men spy Sam. Sam caught. Sam want guns. Um. Injun no fool." Sam saw that it was useless to prolong the conversation.
Thlucco, wrapped in his blanket, bare-headed and bare-footed, looked at the performance with an expression of profound contempt on his face. "Red-coat-big-hat-white man big fool!" was the only comment he had to make upon Captain Woodbine and his drill.
