Halt! cried Deck, as the horsemen reached the edge of the clearing.
gpt
Don't show yourselves until I give the order.
human
I think Levi and I ought to go forward with you, Deck,
gpt
Well, you can go; but we must be careful not to expose ourselves to the enemy,
human
Supposing we separate, went on Artie.
gpt
One can go up to the bridge, one down to where the logs are usually tied up, and one over to the bend. That will give us three points of observation.
human
Right you are, Artie. General Thomas couldn't have planned it better, answered Deck.
gpt
I'll go to the bridge, and you can go down to the logs. Levi, is there a raft handy?
human
There is, just above the logs, and there is a canoe up at the bend. We used it day before yesterday, when Faraway and I went over and came back by the bridge.
gpt
Then it will be an easy matter for us to make an advance all along the line. What of Fort Bedford?
