They then began enquiring who lived in this direet. ion and who lived in that direction, until Bryantwas named, when they► - said that was the plane to which they wished to go, and made .these two daughters of Walker's miller get up behind and go along as pilots. When f they same up they made a rash against the door to burst it open# openbut it was fast barred. The noise waked Bryant, however, and he asked *Who Is there?They answered, Colonel Fanning, and asked him to open the door. He told them to wait till he got his breeches on; but they damned him ' and his breeches too. He, Bryant, Called a young man who was in the house, to get up, but he thought it was all a jest when they told him that Fa was there. They called upon him to surrender; and when he asked them whhaatng' they would do with him if he did surrender, they answered that h 1 t e ' parole him, but he replied, "Damn you and your parole too. I have y Would and I will never take another." Fanning then spoke, and said,,"Me lifehad one, for his, if Walker don't kill him." The y Miss 8arlins, whom they had � brought along as pilots, entreated him to surrender, assuring him that Fanning was there; but not believing it, he Cursed Fannin of them.
