CHAPTER XII
6/82

Three men are far in advance.

Look out, boys! What does that mean?
Our cavalry are falling back, and the three men are cut off.
They will be captured, sure.

They turn to get back to our lines.
We can see the smoke boil up, and hear the discharge of musketry from the Yankee lines.

One man's horse is seen to blunder and fall, one man reels in his saddle, and falls a corpse, and the other is seen to surrender.
But, look yonder! the man's horse that blundered and fell is up again; he mounts his horse in fifty yards of the whole Yankee line, is seen to lie down on his neck, and is spurring him right on toward the solid line of blue coats.

Look how he rides, and the ranks of the blue coats open.
Hurrah for the brave rebel boy! He has passed and is seen to regain his regiment.
