In a few minutes, to my great delight, I saw men on foot and on horseback hurrying to the rescue.

The Indians quickly turned and galloped away as fast as they had come.

When I reached my friends, I turned Brigham over to them.

He was led away and given the care and rub-down that he richly deserved.
Captain Nolan of the Tenth Cavalry now came up with forty men, and on hearing my account of what had happened determined to pursue the Indians.

I was given a cavalry horse for a remount and we were off.
Our horses were all fresh and excellent stock.
