Chapter XXIX
UP THE RIVER FOR MANY DAYS. Colonel Hungerford was even more vexed at the failure of the plan to arrest the fugitives than I was. But Baton Rouge was on the last of the bluffs that one sees in descending the great river, and above the region of continuous levees. There was no doubt we could operate from this region, and secure the capture of the fugitives. "How long since the Queen left?" asked the governor, of the man who had given us the information.
