I had picked up McCarthy's hat, which I returned to him.

It was some time before it was discovered who was at the bottom of the affair.
It was while I was stationed at Fort McPherson, where Brevet-Major-General W.H.Emory was in command, that I acted as guide for Lord Flynn, an English nobleman who had come over for a hunt on the Plains.

I had been recommended to him by General Sheridan.
Flynn had served in India with the British army.

He was a fine sportsman and a splendid shot, and secured many heads and skins while he was with me.

Money meant little to him.
