The first thing Captain Sackett did was to look up Dick Reed, who corroborated Anne's story, and added some important details which she had forgotten. "You come along with me," said the Captain, "and we'll catch those moonshiners redhanded, I guess. " The Captain also took Hugh and Victor, saying it would do no harm to have two young soldiers along, in case of accident. Besides the boys, he picked up two of his neighbors, big Bill Chatto the butcher and Lonny Maguire.
Dick was a proud boy that day, to be guide of such a party of veterans, about to show them something which he had discovered by himself; though he did not fail to give Anne credit for the original suggestion.
