That morning I cut a hickory walking stick, which I used on the trip, and have it yet. It was fortunate for us that Lieutenant Hast- ings joined us. He had escaped once and had been captured by a posse with dogs, had changed his clothing and now wore a Confed- erate uniform, which we thought would permit him to pass for a Confederate. He was a bright young attorney and after the close of the war was attorney general for the state of New York. After dark we started. We took a north- westerly cou...rse, being guided by the north star, and kept in the woods. About 10 o'clock we heard dogs, and said: "Hastings, what is that!" He replied: "A pack of hounds, and 40 A Prisoner of War they are on our trail. " I said: ''Turn up your soles, " took out the bottle of turpentine which I had kept so carefully for months, put some on the bottoms of all of our shoes, turned a square corner and we all ran as fast as we could in an- other direction. After a little we saw we were coming to the edge of the woods, where there was a road and beyond an open field.
