CHAPTER
The little ferryboat pitched and turned in the current of the river.
The men were feeding the ties they had collected, out upon the road through an opening they had broken in the rear of the car.
"I didn't want to come here, Marjorie, for fear I'd get you into trouble--"
WITH THE SECOND OHIO
As he rounded the last bend of the road, Tom saw the white tents of the Union army stretched out before him. He forgot how tired he was after his long walk, and pressed forward eagerly, almost running. The soldiers who were sauntering along the road eyed him curiously.
"Hey, you! You can't go by here without a pass!" The Sentry's rifle, with its long gleaming bayonet, snapped into a menacing attitude.
Tom stopped abruptly, caught his breath, and asked: "Is this the Second Ohio?"
"Maybe," answered the Sentry coldly. "What do you want to know for?"
"I've come to see my cousin--Herbert Brewster, of Company B."
The Sentry's position relaxed. He brought his rifle to the ground, leaned upon it, and gazed at the young man who stood before him. "Well now!" he said. "He'll certainly be glad to see you! We don't get many visitors down this way. What's your name?"
"Tom Burns."
