Poller it up 'bout as fur — the water's low, an' ye mus' gwo inter it, case they moight git the dogs outer yer trail — an' ye'U come to a dade tree whot bends over the run. It's holler, an' ye kin git inter it an stay thar agin I come, as snug as a bar in a snow-bank. I'll prime the guard with kuock- em-stiif — ye be along — an' when I shouts ' Glory, glory,' twice, as ef the raal camp-meetin' power war on me, ye put fur the bushes on yer ban's an' feet, like a wurrum ; an' when ye gits thar, p...ike oft" like lightnin' chasin' a whirlygust" (hurricane). " I understand ; but be cool and steady." " Cool ? I'll be cooler nur Parson Plewit when death jerked him ; an' they say he war so cool he fruz the whole grave-yard so tight they hed ter thaw it out with light'ood." Our camp was guarded by about a dozen sentinels, who re- lieved each other every six hours. The one whose station was nearest the bushes that lined the northern side of the corn-field, bad built a fire of pine-knots, and every now and then halted before it as he w-alked to and fro on his round.
