Major Tom Wllll|ims some time I
told me the story of one of Colonel Gib
Wright’s adventures in South Carolina
In the closing months of the war.
It seems that General Kilpatrick, tho
Federal oavalry commander, had cap­
tured a number of Confederates, and
Wright was anxious to rescue them. He
oalled for volunteers to go with him
Into tho enemy’s camp at night and
$icken out the men be needed from
thoso who responded.
Tho Federal troopers were snoozing
quietly in tb»ir camp nnd on both sides
of the road leading to it, aud their pris­
oners dozed by a fire near tbe center.
Jnst how they got there would ho
hard to explaiu, but shortly after mid­
night Gib Wright, at the head of a few
men, rode at a gentle pace into the camp.
The drowsy Koderals took them for a
party of their own men returning from
a scout, and paid no attention to them.
Everything was working smoothly until
one of the prisoners caught a glimpse of
thenewooiner« The fellow lost hia bead
and rained the whole business. He leap­
ed to hia feet and looked into tbe faeaa
of the advanoing Confederate«
"Hnrray, boyal” ho shouted in hie
delirious delight “ Hang mo, if thnro
ain't old Gib Wright and ilia orowd. -
Burned if the whole Confederate ana)?,
ain’t right behind him 1”
The prisoners all rushed forward w ith
the regulur rebel yell, and the sleeping
Federal» suddenly became yery wlde
awake. From every aide they showered
ballets on their visitor« and Wright
and his men bad almost a miiaoolons
deliverance. Several were killed and
wonnded, but the leader and the ma-
iority of the party managed to get
away.— Atlanta Constitution.
