I would have liked to have etayed
foe a few days -longer at Mr. Walk-

anxious about the Frenchman as he

loping back en his mile ad the
wearing was awful. r wondered the

and I never 'had an accident In driv-

The road was fairly level most of
the way and when we got started in
the morning the teams jest followed
one another. We had three hunters
to get fresh meat, for us and we
also had a 'butcher and a herd of fat
cattle. The butcher killed a bovine

There were out 15 white men and
something over thirty Mexicans left
with our train and we were all armed

was 12 miles
les far as I
knew, but I slept soundly until a-
bout four in the morning, when I
was awakened by the howling of the
wolves. I jumped up and started on
my journey again, , thinking to my-
self that I would not let the wolves
eat me while lying down, a.nyway. I
walked quickly and must have made
very good time as I reached Vic -
tela, just as they were sitting down
to breakfast. Mr. Bosley was very
glad to see me again, as he 'did not
know anyone there.
After breakfast we met With a Mr.
Oune.inghaert, who we heard was going
Ito mud ;three wagons with supplies for
goveramenrtrain that was going
to start from San Antonia, for AI-,
peso, on the Rio Grand. It was ene.
hundred and twenty miles, so, as we
could not travel. alone for fear ;of In-
dians, Who were always on the look
out for small parties, we herleto wait
about a week before the Cunningham
outfit was ready.
We pulled cotton and husked corn
for a, few days, but it wag too hot -
for any white man to work there.
-The slaves did all the work. A day
or two before we leitarted I was so
warm that I drank 'some water out of
the Erases River. Before we were
far on our road I took the Texas
fever. We came to a creek and halted
there a few deys' to rest the oxen.
They were all Slaves along with ;the
wagons. These wagons were very
large, and were covered over with
white, canvas and filled to the roof
With barrels of perk and buscuit, so
that there was no possibility of any
one getting a ride. I was so bad with
the royal that I hought I would never
See the morning. I just lay On the
Vass, not able to move. I could hard -
lye get any one to give me a drink
of water even. I thought the French-
man was very heartless. One fel-
low, who came along, gave nve a -ketch
with his foot, and said,. "Keep up
your heart, old fellow, you have' on,-
ly once to diet" However, they gave
me a heavy dose of brandy and quin-
ine, and it seemed to break up the
fever, so that I was a'ble to be on
My feet again before the wagons had
started in the morning. I was not.
'able to walk alone, however, but
kept hold of one end of the wagon,
and, as the oxen went very slowly, I
managed to keep up. I felt myself
'getting stronger every day. I firm-
ly believe that if I hadenot been able
to keep up they would have left me
there to die, aa there was no house
an the, road.
We 'got to a fine creek • about six
miles from San Antonia, on Saturday
night, and we rested there 9,11 day
Sunday, se the oxen were tree out. 1

this time. It wee a beautiful day, 00
took some clean clothes and went
down to the cre,ek to Wave a birth. I
took, a TIE,SW pair of socks with me,
and when t I was putting thane on I
found a piece of -paper pinned inside
the heel of one of them. On it was
the fourth commandment. I had a
good cry, tie it 'brought me so neer
home. 1 had now been away for seven;
months, and ,had never heard a wordi
from- home.
Wel drove into eon Antoala, next
day. There we found them getting
up a government train of about one
hundred wagons, being a commission
to settle the 'boundary line between
Texas and Mexico, after .the Mexican
war. They wanted to hire telemeters
to drive the ,wagone a distance of
seven hundred and eighty milesfrom
one le-ether/lent, to 'another. 1
went to the quarter master's clerk,
9.; Me. Sheldon, and offered to drive
a team, but he die not engage me.
that day, but told me to call again.
I called on him a few days aftesand
the engaged me at forty dollars a
month and board. He told me after-
wards that he did not engage' me at
first, as he thought I would die on
the ;road.
It was a'bout two weeks before we
were tready to (start, tso r gained
strength, and was able to take my
team when we did start. There were
about sixty mule teame of ten mules
on each wagon, thirty Mexican carts
and ,about twenty ox wagons. 'The
mete had three 'peke of oxen' on •each,
and the wagons flee yoke on eaeh. I
drove one of the wagons, which were
an covered over IAritb white canvas.
They were all filled to the roof with
supplies for the corninission when we
started, but we soon made them light-
er, as we kept takieg out 'provisions
every day.- Just by the way, I•might
eety here, that they all had a prejudice'
a:garnet me, on aecanent of rey being
what they called a Northerner. Bettis'
