These squaws took my baby (he was lying beside me on the bed), then, cooing and chuckling, they looked about the room, until they found a small pillow, which they laid into the basket-cradle, then put my baby in, drew the flaps together, and laced him into it; then stood it up, and laid it down, and laughed again in their gentle manner, and finally soothed him to sleep.

I was quite touched by the friendliness of it all.

They laid the cradle on the table and departed.

Jack went out to bring Major Worth in, to see the pretty sight, and as the two entered the room, Jack pointed to the pappoose-basket.
Major Worth tip-toed forward, and gazed into the cradle; he did not speak for some time; then, in his inimitable way, and half under his breath, he said, slowly, "Well, I'll be d--d!" This was all, but when he turned towards the bedside, and came and shook my hand, his eyes shone with a gentle and tender look.
And so was the new recruit introduced to the Captain of Company K.
And now there must be a bath-tub for the baby.

The cutler rummaged his entire place, to find something that might do.
