Here Grady lived, and he wished us to go to a barn, and said he would bring us something to eat; but McGuire and I thought it best to go back to New York as soon as possible; so we got aboard a freight train for Norwalk and took the Owl, a midnight train, from there.

Going to New York we sat in different parts of the car and did not speak.

The train stopped for some reason or other at One Hundred and Twentieth street, and there McGuire and I got out.
"We were then on our way to Tristram's house, and there we met Allen, Hudson and Tristram.

They told us they had got on the car as agreed upon, and had got off at Harlem Bridge, and walked up the track about six miles, but, failing to find us, had become disgusted and returned home.

That evening Tristram, McGuire and I started for Norwalk in the five o'clock train.
