CHAPTER LVIII.
WE LEAVE SAVANNAH--MORE HOPES OF EXCHANGE--SCENES AT DEPARTURE -- "FLANKERS"-- ON THE BACK TRACK TOWARD ANDERSONVILLE--ALARM THEREAT -- AT THE PARTING OF TWO WAYS--WE FINALLY BRING UP AT CAMP LAWTON.
On the evening of the 11th of October there came an order for one thousand prisoners to fall in and march out, for transfer to some other point.
Of course, Andrews and I "flanked" into this crowd.

That was our usual way of doing.

Holding that the chances were strongly in favor of every movement of prisoners being to our lines, we never failed to be numbered in the first squad of prisoners that were sent out.

The seductive mirage of "exchange" was always luring us on.

It must come some time, certainly, and it would be most likely to come to those who were most earnestly searching for it.
