The next evening he went to the negro
‘ manners on a plantation and was received
by the slaves with the sympathy they
. were always prepared to extend to fugi-
tives. But the planter also sawhis ep-
proacb, and, coming unaware-s upon Ben-
singcr, revolver in hand, forced bismu-
render. A messenger sent to Atlanta
brought a company of cavalry very
promptly, and we had the melancholy
pleasure of welcoming back our comrade.
Maison was brought in shortly after, and
the account stands: Six recaptured, and
eight of our own party, with two others—
Capt. Fry and the deserter-cscaped.
This was a better result than we had any
good right. to anticipate, when planning
the attempt. '
The most. lamentable part of the story
was vthe case of Barlow, a young East
Tennessee soldier, who alone attempted to
go with us. He was only 18, but brave
and very amiable. No harm came to him
in the fight, but in jumping down from
" the fence he broke his leg just. above the
ankle," and was dragged back to his cell in
a very rough manner. No attention was
paid to ,him wtill the next morning, and.
very little then. Re died from the injury,
after enduring great suffering.

From the window where I was I had a
goodview of the proceedings below. In
alshort time all the force of the place, in‘
cluding a regiment of cavalry, was drawn
up in front of the jail. I heard Col. Lee
directing the pursuit. lie was in a tower
his passion, and shouted out his orders in
avery angry tone. Said he: “Don'ttake
one of the villains alive. Shoot them down
and let them he in the woods.” He
ordered pickets to be placed at the fairies
of the Chattahoochee, along the railroads
I was glad to hear
such arrangements, for these were the
and at all cross roads.
very places we had agreed to avoid!
All night long the guard talked over
their adventures. There was a hammock
belonging to one of the prisoners in the
front room, and this he kindly permitted
me to occupy. It was suspended right be-
fore the window, and 1 could hear and see‘
much that was going on. The guards had
their reserve around a camp fire close by,
and I could hear their discussion of their
parts in the affray. Generally they
landed their own bravery to the skies,
telling how they had served the prisoners
who had broken out. upon them. Occa-
sionally one who had “been present then
would suggest that it. did not show a great
deal of bravery to let unarmed men snatch
their guns fmm them, but such linted

A whole volume would be required for
the adventures in detail of these different.
parties, but some brief account seems
necdfuLfor the completen ‘ 1 our story.
The different narratives Ila

themselves, or are condensed and revised
from accounts published by them, some
very near the time of the return of the
fugitives. The story in each case was of
such extraordinary character that local
newspapers were glad of the privilege of
laying it before their readers. - These
different accounts have been carefully

have only passing or local interest have
been omitted.
