Once eight slaves ran away from Col. Singleton's plantation, and Mr. Black, with twenty-five hound dogs, was hired to hunt them up. The dogsstruck trail of the runaways late one afternoon, and chased them allthat night, during which time they got scattered. Next morning three ofthe runaways were chased through a crowd of their fellow negroes, whowere working in the cotton field. While chasing the runaways some amongthe crowd killed six of the dogs, including the two leading ones, andburied them... in the cotton beds or rows, as we used to call them. Mr. Black, the hunter, though a mile or more off, knew that somethinghad happened from the irregular barking of the other dogs, and alsobecause he did not hear the yelling of the two leading dogs. So he blewhis horn, called the rest of his dogs, and gave up the chase until hehad replaced his leading dogs by others, which he always had on hand athome. Slave hunters generally had one or two among the pack of hound dogs, called trailers or leaders, which the others, fifty or more, weretrained to follow.
