It was the afternoon of the following day when Crib, the black boy, reported the approach of horsemen from the east.
Jonathan and Mary climbed the hut ridge behind the hollow, descended the gully and climbed the opposite hill. They saw Mr. Rutter and his volunteer cavalry riding in very straggling order along the rugged and boulder-strewn bank of the Abercrombie. The men were about a mile from the rebel position, when Wylie and the girl first saw them.
