Don't fire!
gpt
What's thet?

I said, 'don't fire,'
gpt
Who is thet talkin' to me? And now the sharpshooter turned half around.
human
I had a dandy shot.
gpt
The cap'n's orders are not to fire, but to retreat to the other side of the creek, went on Deck.
human
Pass the order along;
gpt
Well, I swan! came from the Confederate sharpshooter.
human
It was a dandy chance to bring down a man.
gpt
I had a dandy chance myself just now,
human
Are you going to retreat, too?
gpt
No; the cap'n says I'm to stay on guard here.
human
Then he don't want me no more?
gpt
No. You are to go back--and don't forget to pass the word along. We're running the chance of being surrounded, I've heard.
