They went on to the river bank, and those negroes who went out there owed me over $109,000.
Q.How many of them were there?
Eighty I think you said?
-- A.

There were 80, I think.

Once, I suppose, there were 150 negroes, perhaps more, on the bank of the river.

They were not at a regular landing.

They went out to the intermediate points where a boat would not be compelled to land.
