ABSTRACT
At the huts we found four wretches, as ferocious in deportment, and miserable in appearance, as the others to whom I had previously been introduced. They were not a little shocked at hearing of Blinking Harry’s misfortune, not from their generous regard for him, but from the fears inspired by the news we brought, which, to say the truth, might well justify in those who had not been with us, some alarm; as to cover their own want of courage, my late fellow-travellers multiplied most enormously, the dangers to which we had been exposed, and the supposed numbers of the military, by whom we had been attacked and defeated.
