THE ESCAPE.

On that Sunday evening, half an hour be-
fore dark (the latest moment at which the
guards could'bo passed, even by authorized
persons, without the countersign), my
friends, Meteors. Browne and Davis. Wont
out to the Rebel hospital, beyond the inner
line of sentinels, as if to order their usual
medical supplies for the sick prisoners. As
they passed in and out a dozen times a day,
and their faces were quite familiar to the
sentinols, they were not compelled to show
their passes, and Mr. Browne left his behind.
with me.
A few minutes later, taking with me a
long box .filled with the bottles in which
medical supplies were usually brought,
and giving it to a little lad who assisted me
in my hospital duties, Istartod to follow
them.
As if in great haste, we walked rapidly
toward the gate, while, leaning against trees
or standing in the hospital doors, half a doz-
en of our friends looked on to see how the
plan worked. When we reached the gate,
I took the box from the boy, and said to him,
of course for the benefit of the sentinel :
“ I am going outside, to get those bottles
filled. I shall be back in about fifteen min-
utes, and want you to remain right here, to
take them and distribute them among the
hospitals. Do not go away, now."
The lad understanding the matter perfect-
ly, replied; “ Yes, sir;” and I attempted to
pass the sentinel by more assurance.
I had learned long before how far a man
may go, evenln captivity, by sheer native
impudence—by moving right along without
hesitation, with a confident look, just as if
he had a right to go and no one had any
right to question him. On several occasions,
I absolutely sow prisoners, who had procured
citizens’ clothes, thus walk past the guards
in broad day light, out of Rebel prison. 1

cling to and fro on the piazza of the head-
quarters building, a deserts: from our service
named Dcvidson,v'vho recognized and bowed
to me. I rather thought he would not be-
tray me, but was still afraid of it. I went.
on, and a few yards further, coming towards
me in that narrow lane, where it was impos-
sible to avoid him, I saw the one Rebel ofilv.
cor who knew me better than an I other-jg
who came into my quarters frequently—Lt.
Stockton, the post-adjutaut. Observing him
in the distance. I thought I recognized in
him that old ill-fortune which had, so long
and steadily bafiied' us.
When we met I bade him good evening
and conversed for a few minutes upon the
weather, or someother subject, in which I
did not feel any very profound interest-'—
Then he passed into head-quarters, and I
went on. Yet a few yards further I encoun-
tered a third Rebel named Smith, who was
entirely familiar with me, and whose quar-
ters, inside the garrison, were within twenty
feet of my own. There were not half a dear
en confederates about the prison who were
familiar with me but it seemed as if atthis
time they were coming together in a grand
convention.
Not daring to enter the Rebel. hospital,
where I was certain to be recognized, I laid
dowo my hm: of medicines, and sought shel-
ter in a little out-building. WhileI remain-
ed there, waiting for the coming of the bless
sod darkness, I constantly expected to see a
sergeant, with a file of Rebel soldiers, come
to take me back to the yard; but none came.
It more good fortune. Stockton, Smith,
and Davidson all knew, if they had their
wrts about them that I had no more right
there than in the village itself. I suppose
their thou ghtlessness must have been caused
by the peculiarly honest and business-like
look of that medicine-box!
At dark my two friends joined me. We
went through the gate in full sight of the
sentinel, who, seeing us come from the
hospital, supposed we were Rebel surgeons ,
Sunday night, the first time for twenty
months, we found ourselves walking freely
inapublic street, without a Rebel bayonet
before or behind us.
* * * "* For many months, even be-
fore leaving prison, we had been familiar,
the war, had done nothing but conduct loyal
men to our lines.
Ellisis a hero, and his life a romance. He
had taken through, in all, more than four
thousand persons. He had prooably seen .
more adventure—in fights (and races with
the Rebels, in long journeys, sometimes bare-
footed and through the snow, or swimming
rivers full of ice—than any other man living.
He never lost but one man, who was
swooped up through his own heedlessness.
The party had tranled eight or ten days,
living upon nothing but parched corn, Dan
insisted that a man could walk twentyofive
miles a day through snow upon parched
corn just as well as upon any other diet—if
he only thought so. I feel bound to say
that I have tried it and don’t think so. This
person held the same opinion. He revoltod
against the parched-corn diet, vowing that
he would go to the first house and get an
honest meal, if he was captured for it. He
went to the first house, obtained the meal,
and was captured.
After We had traveled fifty miles, every-
body said to us, “ If you can only find Dan
Ellis, and do just as he tells you, you will be
certain to get through.” .
We did find Dan Ellis. On Sunday night,
one hundred and thirty-four miles from our
lines, greatly broken down, we reached a
point on the road, waited for two hours,
when along came Dan Ellis with a party of
seventy men—refugees, prisoners, Robe] de-
serters, Union soldiers returning from their
homes within the enemy’s lines, and esca-
ping prisoners. About thirty of them were
mounted and twenty armed.
Like most men of action. Dan was a per-
son of few words. When our story had
been told him, he said to his comrades:
“ Boys, here are some gentlemen escaped
from Salisbury, and are _ almost dead from
the journey. They are our people. They
have suffered in our cause. They are going
to their homes in our lines. We cant ride
and let these men walk. Get down off your
horses and help them up. ” ,
Down they came and up we went; and
then we pressed along at aterriblo pace.
* * * * To-day. when we came on
the hot track of eight guerrillas, the Rebel
and, taking eight of his own men, he started
in fierce pursuit. Seven of the enemy es-
caped, but one was captured and brought to
our camp a prisoner.
Then Dan wont to the nearest Union
house, tolearn the news; for every loyal
family' ma range of“ many hundred miles
knew and loved him. We very wearlly, lay
down to sleep in an old orchard. with our
saddles, for pillows. Our reflections were-
pleasant. We were only seventy-nine miles
