Here I knew the Indian camp to be located.
I slipped down the hill, and, running to old Joe, mounted, telling White at the same time that I had located the camp.

Then we began circling the sandhill until we got two or three miles away, keeping out of sight of the Indians all the time.

When we felt we were safe we made a straight sweep to meet the command.

I found the scouts first and told Texas Jack to hold up the soldiers, keeping them out of sight until he heard from me.
I went on until I met General Reynolds at the head of the column.

He baited the troop on my approach; taking him to one side, I told him what I had discovered.
