I have done as he did, and always had it in my musket barrel--When we had fighting to do I would drop it out into my hand and slip it into my ammunition pouch; but I know that I have always been followed, just as Bill was.

I suppose they found out that I went to see him before he died.

Anyhow, my tent has been rummaged again and again.

I have no doubt that fellow whom you killed last night had been watching me all the time, and thought that I had come out to hide the things.

However, there they are, sir.
