The insurgents hold Monastery Heights, and we must ride past them, through the Torda Gap.

The millers of the two mills that stand one at each end of the Gap are my friends.

The Hungarian miller at Peterd has shut off Hesdad Brook to-day, to clear out the mill-race.

He does it once in so often, and I know he is about it now.

So we shall have no trouble making our way up the dry bed of the stream to the farther end of the Gap.
