CHAPTER X.A PERILOUS ADVENTURE.
One fine afternoon, after a march of twenty-two miles over a rocky road, and finding our provisions low, Mr.Bailey and Jack went out to shoot wild turkeys.

As they shouldered their guns and walked away.

Captain Ogilby called out to them, "Do not go too far from camp." Jack returned at sundown with a pair of fine turkeys! but Bailey failed to come in.

However, as they all knew him to be an experienced woodsman, no one showed much anxiety until darkness had settled over the camp.
Then they began to signal, by discharging their rifles; the officers went out in various directions, giving "halloos," and firing at intervals, but there came no sound of the missing man.
The camp was now thoroughly alarmed.

This was too dangerous a place for a man to be wandering around in all night, and search-parties of soldiers were formed.
