Wyandotte And you, Joyce," said the major, in an interview he had with the serjeant, shortly after reaching Albany; "I trust we are not to part. Wyandotte This seemed to corroborate the thought about a fit, and the serjeant pressed eagerly forward to ascertain the truth. Wyandotte Although the serjeant was a man of great steadiness of nerves, and unchangeable method, he fairly trembled as he ascertained the serious condition of his old and well-beloved commander. Wyandotte "You hear, O'Hearn?" said the serjeant, stiffly--"Everybody seems to expect that you will do this duty."

Wyandotte Even while speaking, the captain crossed the court, accompanied by the serjeant and mason; and, ceremony being little attended to on such occasions, they all entered the quarters of Strides, in a body. Wyandotte "And what did you do with them?" asked a youth, who regarded the serjeant as another Cæsar--Napoleon not having come into notice in 1776. Wyandotte "They are bad enough, sir; but no man can well be so bad as to disregard the rights of a flag," answered the serjeant, in a grave and slightly important manner. Wyandotte "Wait for orders, men, wait for orders," observed the serjeant, by way of quieting an impatience that was very apparent. Wyandotte Nor did any one appear disposed to interrupt him in an employment that serjeant Joyce pronounced to be both bold and against the usages of war to permit. Wyandotte I am glad to find you relishing the movement for any cause, serjeant.

Wyandotte "I am satisfied of that, serjeant; we must put shoulder to shoulder, and die in the breach, should it be necessary, before we give up the place." Wyandotte "What say you, Tuscarora; the serjeant has proposed assaulting that breast-work?" Wyandotte "I think I understand Strides, your honour," resumed the serjeant. Wyandotte I was thinking of this myself, serjeant; we will first post Blodget here. Wyandotte All this did the captain discuss in few words, with the serjeant, when he proceeded to join his anxious and expecting wife and daughters. Wyandotte The interview took place in the library, whither the serjeant repaired, on receiving his superior's orders. Wyandotte After much reflection, the captain and serjeant came to the conclusion to adopt the following mode of proceeding. Wyandotte It was just two in the morning, when the serjeant tapped lightly at the door of his commanding officer's room. Wyandotte "With your honour's permission," said the serjeant, "I would ask corporal Allen if the deserters have gone off with their arms and accoutrements?" Wyandotte Should this be the case, serjeant, our sortie may be made at an earlier hour than that mentioned. Wyandotte I thank you, serjeant, and shall not fail to employ you, on all proper occasions. Wyandotte Follow trail--know cap'in foot--know serjeant foot--know Mike foot--see so many foot, follow him. Wyandotte "I remember the place, serjeant, and like your suggestion," answered the captain, with an eagerness that it was very unusual for him to betray. Wyandotte "I do not think you and the blacks will leave me, Joyce," he observed, as the serjeant and himself descended, by the common passage, to the court. Wyandotte The serjeant stood in front of the little party, with a lantern, holding his muster-roll in his hand. Wyandotte The first glance told the captain that a serious reduction had taken place in his forces, and he led the serjeant aside to hear his report. Wyandotte Very well, serjeant--I will just wash my eyes, and be with you in a minute. Wyandotte The serjeant seldom dissented from any suggestion of his commanding officer, and the scheme was carried out on the spot. Wyandotte The serjeant was disposed to distrust all red-men, and he advised putting Nick under arrest, and to keep him in durance, until the return of light, at least. Wyandotte Joyce and the men below had taken the alarm, and the serjeant with his companions were ordered up on the stage immediately, leaving the negro, alone, to watch the gate. Wyandotte "There you are mistaken, serjeant Joyce," the youth observed, firmly. Wyandotte The search justified this opinion of the serjeant. Wyandotte "In that, the Rev. Mr. Woods only obeys orders," said the serjeant. Wyandotte "When he gets back, serjeant--can you, or any other man, tell when that will be?" Wyandotte He put the question to the serjeant, therefore, as soon as he could lead him far enough from the little array, to be certain he was out of ear-shot. Wyandotte The desertions gave not only the captain, but his great support and auxiliary, the serjeant, the gravest apprehensions. Wyandotte I thank you, serjeant, for your offer and gallantry, but prudence will not permit it. Wyandotte |
