CHAPTER XXXVI
8/13

The Raiders' tents were torn down and pillaged.

Blankets, tent poles, and cooking utensils were carried off as spoils, and the ground was dug over for secreted property.

A large quantity of watches, chains, knives, rings, gold pens, etc., etc .-- the booty of many a raid--was found, and helped to give impetus to the hunt.

Even the Rebel Quartermaster, with the characteristic keen scent of the Rebels for spoils, smelled from the outside the opportunity for gaining plunder, and came in with a squad of Rebels equipped with spades, to dig for buried treasures.

How successful he was I know not, as I took no part in any of the operations of that nature.
It was claimed that several skeletons of victims of the Raiders were found buried beneath the tent.
