The men came; they arrived within about fifteen yards when I stepped up and said, 'Stand! bail up!' That means all of them to get together.

I made them fall back on the upper side of the road with their faces up the range, and Sullivan brought me his gun, and then tied their hands behind them.

The horse was very quiet all the time, he did not move.

When they were all tied, Sullivan took the horse up the hill, and put him in the bush; he cut the rope and let the swags--[A "swag" is a kit, a pack, small baggage.]--fall on the ground, and then came to me.

We then marched the men down the incline to the creek; the water at this time barely running.
