We dedicate this Textbook to Dr. John F. Murray. In 1988, Dr. Murray, together with Dr. Jay A. Nadel,
published the first edition of this Textbook. Motivated by his love of teaching, he aimed to create a
comprehensive, clear, authoritative, thoroughly annotated compendium of respiratory medicine, always
integrated with scientific principles. Over the subsequent years and six more editions, he inspired us to
continue his work and to maintain his high standards.
Of all his contributions to respiratory medicine, he was perhaps most proud of the Textbook.

The minister went on with the service, raising his voice to make
himself heard; but Don, and doubtless many others, had little thought

a satisfactory way of getting it out, though what with all the trouble
that surrounds us, I do believe that he doesn’t often give it a thought

Correspondence, had many matters to keep them busy. A close
watch was being kept on the troops in town. It was known that Gage
had sent two officers in disguise to make maps of the roads that led
to Boston; and rumor had it that he intended to send a strong force
to Concord to capture supplies that the patriots had stored there.
The month of March dragged past with war-like preparations on both
sides. Many of the townsfolk, realizing that open hostilities must
begin soon, had moved into the country. Samuel Adams and John
Hancock had gone to Lexington, where they were staying with the
Rev. Jonas Clark. David Hollis and Glen Drake had both made
several trips to the town with messages for them.
One day early in April, David Hollis took his wife aside out of hearing
of his nephew. “Martha,” he said in a low voice, “I want you to leave
the house for a while. There’s going to be trouble, and Boston will be
no safe place for you.”
Aunt Martha’s chin lifted a trifle. “And, pray, where should I go?” she
asked.
“To Cousin Deborah’s in Concord.”
“I shall not go!” Aunt Martha replied.
“But she has already prepared for you; I told her you’d come.”
“You had no right to say that.”
“But, Martha, listen to reason. I say there will be trouble—I know it!
And it’s coming soon. Need I speak plainer than that?”
“No, David, you need not. I understand. Yet I intend to remain right
here in our home.”
David Hollis threw out his hands and turned away. Then with another
gesture he said, “Martha Hollis, you are a foolish woman. I—I
command you to go; it is for your own good.”
Aunt Martha’s blue eyes flashed behind her spectacles. “And I refuse
to obey. My place is here, and here is where I stay.” Then with a
sudden flash of anger she exclaimed, “I’d like to see any Redcoats
drive me from my own home!”
David Hollis turned toward the fire and snapped his fingers several
times. “It’s too bad,” he said. “Stubbornness is not a virtue.”
“You have it!”
Uncle David made no reply.
“You tell Cousin Deborah that I’m sorry she has gone to any trouble
about me.”
“I don’t expect to go that way very soon.”
“Then Glen can see her.”
“Glen has gone—elsewhere.”
Aunt Martha was thoughtful. “Well,” she said at last, “as you say, it is
too bad, but, David, my mind is made up.”
“How would it be to send Donald? Seems to me it might be a good
vacation for him. He’s an able lad, and I know that he’d be glad to
make the trip. He could ride almost as far as Lexington with Harry
Henderson. Cousin Deborah would be glad to have him for
overnight.”
“Dear me!” said Aunt Martha. “I can’t allow it.”
But in the end she yielded, and that evening Don heard the news
with glee. “Your cousin is a nervous, exact kind of person,” his aunt
told him, “and I want you to tell her everything that I say.”
“But what is it?” asked Don.
“Tell her that I am very sorry she has gone to any trouble on my
account, but that I cannot with a clear conscience visit with her at
this time. Say also that when your uncle promised for me he had not
consulted me and therefore did not know all the facts.”
“She’ll want to know the facts,” said Don, grinning. “I’m kind of
curious myself, Aunt Martha.”
“Donald!”
But Don’s grin was irresistible, and his aunt smiled. “Never mind,”
she said. “And you’ll hurry home, won’t you?”
“I surely will, Aunt Martha.”
The next morning, the sixteenth of April, Don set out with Harry
Henderson, a raw-boned young fellow with red hair and a short
growth of red stubble on his face. The soldiers had just finished
standing parade on the Common when Don and Harry rattled by in
the cart; Harry’s light blue eyes narrowed as he watched them
moving in little groups to their barracks.
“Good morning to you, young sir,” said a cheerful voice.
Don, looking up, saw Harry Hawkins. “Good morning to you, sir,” he
replied.
Harry Henderson looked at his companion narrowly. “Friend of
yours?” he asked.
“Well, no, not exactly,” replied the boy.
“Friend of your uncle’s maybe?” Harry was grinning impudently now,
and Don’s cheeks were red.
“No; here’s how it is——” And Don gave a brief account of how he
had happened to meet the Redcoat.
“Well,” said Harry dryly, “I should think he might say good morning to
you.”
They passed the Common and finally turned into Orange Street and,
after some delay, drove past the fortifications on the Neck. “Clear of
’em b’gosh!” said Harry, cracking his whip. “We’ll reach Lexin’ton by
mid-afternoon if old Dan here doesn’t bust a leg.”
But Harry had not reckoned on horseshoes. Shortly before they
reached Medford, old Dan lost a shoe, and the circumstance caused
a delay of two hours. Then later Dan shied at a barking dog and
snapped one of the shafts. As a result Harry and Don did not reach
Lexington until almost ten o’clock.
“You’ve got to stay right here with me,” said Harry, “It’s too late for
you to reach Concord. I know your cousin, and she wouldn’t be at all
pleased to have you wake her at midnight—not she!” He laughed.
So Don remained at Lexington overnight and the next morning set
out on foot for Concord. He reached his cousin’s house just before
noon.
Cousin Deborah was a tall strong-looking woman with black hair,
black eyes and a nose that was overly large. She had once been a
school teacher and, as David Hollis used to say, had never lost the
look. “Where’s your Aunt Martha?” were her first words to Don.
“She decided she couldn’t come.”
“But Uncle David told me——”
Then followed the inevitable questions that a person like Cousin
Deborah would be sure to ask, and Don wriggled under each of
them. But after all, Cousin Deborah was good-hearted, and deep
within her she knew that she would have done the same as Don’s
aunt was doing, if she had been in similar circumstances—though
she would not acknowledge it now. “Your aunt always did have a
broad streak of will,” she said severely. “Now I want you to spend
several days with me, Donald.”
“Aunt Martha told me to hurry back.”
“That means you can stay to-night and to-morrow night,” Cousin
Deborah decided. “I’ll have dinner in a few moments, and then I want
you to tell me all the things that have happened in Boston.”
In spite of his cousin’s questions, which were many and varied, Don
managed to enjoy himself while he was at Concord. On the second
day he met a boy of his own age, and the two fished all morning from
the North Bridge. In the afternoon they went on a long tramp into the
woods along the stream.
At night Don was tired out and was glad when his cousin finally
snuffed the candles and led the way up-stairs. He was asleep shortly
after his head struck the pillow.
That night proved to be one of the most eventful in the history of the
Colonies.
CHAPTER V
THE REGULARS COME OUT

While Don was asleep, breathing the damp, fragrant air that blew
over the rolling hills and fields round Concord, his friend, Paul
Revere, was being rowed cautiously from the vicinity of Hudson’s
Point toward Charlestown. It was then near half-past ten o’clock.
Revere, muffled in a long cloak, sat in the stern of the small boat and
glanced now at his two companions—Thomas Richardson and
Joshua Bentley—and now at the British man-of-war, Somerset, only
a few rods off. The tide was at young flood, and the moon was rising.
The night seemed all black and silver—black shadows ahead where
the town of Charlestown lay, black shadows behind that shrouded
the wharfs and shipyards of the North End, and silver shimmering
splashes on the uneasy water and on the sleek spars of the
Somerset.
The sound of talking came from the direction of the man-of-war and
was followed by a burst of laughter that reverberated musically in the
cool night air. Revere blew on his hands to warm them. The little
boat drew nearer, nearer to Charlestown; now he could see the
vague outlines of wharfs and houses. Several times he glanced over
his shoulder in the direction of a solitary yellow light that gleamed in
the black-and-silver night high among the shadows on the Boston
side,—a light that burned steadily in the belfry of the Old North
Meeting-House behind Corps Hill as a signal that the British were on
their way by land to attack the Colonists.
“Here we are,” said one of the rowers, shipping his muffled oar and
partly turning in his seat.
A few minutes later the boat swung against a wharf, and the two
men at the oars held it steady while Revere stepped out. A brief
word or two and he was on his way up the dock. In the town he soon
met a group of patriots, one of whom, Richard Devens, got a horse
for him. Revere lost no time in mounting and setting off to warn the
countryside of the coming of the Redcoats.
He had not gone far beyond Charlestown Neck, however, when he
almost rode into two British officers who were waiting in the shadows
beneath a tree. One of them rode out into the middle of the path; the
other charged full at the American. Like a flash Revere turned his
horse and galloped back toward the Neck and then pushed for the
Medford road. The Redcoat, unfamiliar with the ground, had ridden
into a clay pit, and before he could get his horse free Revere was
safely out of his reach.
At Medford he roused the captain of the Minute-Men; and from there
to Lexington he stopped at almost every house along the road and
summoned the inmates from their beds. It was close to midnight
when he reached Lexington. Riding to the house of the Rev. Jonas
Clark, where Hancock and Adams were staying, he found eight men
on guard in command of a sergeant.
“Don’t make so much noise!” cried the fellow as Revere clattered up
to the gate.
“Noise!” repeated Revere in a hoarse voice. “You’ll have noise
enough here before long—the regulars are coming out!”
At that moment a window opened, and Hancock thrust his head out.
“Come in, Revere!” he said. “We’re not afraid of you!”
Revere dismounted and hurried inside. In a few words he told his
story, that the British were on their way either to capture Hancock
and Adams or to destroy the military stores at Concord. While he
was talking, William Dawes, who also had set out to warn the
people, clattered up to the door.
After he and Revere had had something to eat and to drink they
started for Concord and were joined by a Dr. Prescott, whom Don
had seen once or twice in company with his uncle. With Revere in
the lead the party rode on at a rapid pace.
About half-way to Concord, while Prescott and Dawes were rousing
the people in a house near the road, Revere spied two horsemen
ahead. Turning in his saddle, he shouted to his companions, and at
that moment two more horsemen appeared.
Prescott came riding forward in answer to the shout, and he and
Revere tried to get past the men, all of whom were British officers.
But the four of them were armed, and they forced the Americans into
a pasture. Prescott at once urged his horse into a gallop, jumped a
stone wall and, riding in headlong flight, was soon safe on his way to
Concord. Revere urged his horse toward a near-by wood, but just
before he reached it six British officers rode out, and he was a
prisoner.
“Are you an express?” demanded one of them.
“Yes,” replied Revere and with a smile added: “Gentlemen, you have
missed your aim. I left Boston after your troops had landed at
Lechemere Point, and if I had not been certain that the people, to the
distance of fifty miles into the country, had been notified of your
movements I would have risked one shot before you should have
taken me.”
For a moment no one spoke; it was clear that the Redcoats were
taken aback. Then followed more questions, all of which Revere
answered truthfully and without hesitating. Finally they ordered their
prisoner to mount, and all rode slowly toward Lexington. They were
not far from the meeting-house when the crash of musketry shook
the night air.
For an instant the major who was in command of the party thought
they had been fired on. Then he remarked to the officer beside him,
“It’s the militia.”
The officer laughed shortly and glanced at their prisoner. Then the
party halted, and the British took Revere’s horse. The major asked
him how far it was to Cambridge and, on being told, left the prisoner
standing in the field and with the rest of the party rode toward the
meeting-house.
A few minutes later Revere crossed the old burying-ground and
entered the town. He soon found Hancock and Adams again and
told them what had happened, and they concluded to take refuge in
the town of Woburn. Revere went with them. He had done his duty.
Perhaps it was a vague feeling of impending danger, perhaps it was
the mere twitter of a bird outside his window—at any rate Don awoke
with a start. All was darkness in the room. A light, cool wind stirred
the branches of the great elm at the side of the house; he could hear
the twigs rubbing gently against the rough shingles. He had no idea
what time it was; it must be after midnight, he thought; but somehow
he was not sleepy. He raised his head a trifle. Down-stairs a door
slammed; that seemed strange. Now someone was talking. “I
wonder——” he said to himself and then sat bolt upright in bed.
The church bell had begun to ring at a furious rate. Clang, clang!
Clang—clang! Don thought he had never before heard a bell ring so
harshly or so unevenly. He jumped out of bed and began to dress.
Clang! Clang! What in the world could be the matter? He could hear
shouts now and the sound of hastening footsteps. In his excitement
he got the wrong arm into his shirt. Clang! Clang—clang! He found
his shoes at last and with trembling fingers got them on his feet. He
unlatched the door and started carefully down the winding stairs. It
seemed as if there were a hundred steps to those creaking old
stairs. Twice he almost missed his footing—and all the while the bell
continued to clash and ring and tremble.
In the sitting-room a single candle was burning. Don got a glimpse of
his cousin Deborah, hastily dressed and still wearing her nightcap;
she was standing at the door, and his Cousin Eben, with a musket in
his hand and a powder horn over his shoulder, was saying good-bye.
Don saw him kiss his wife. Then the door opened, the candle
flickered, and he was gone.
“Cousin Deborah, what’s wrong?” cried Don.
“The regulars are coming!” And then Cousin Deborah burst into
tears.
Don bit his lips; he had never thought of his cousin as being capable
of tears.
They did not last long. A few movements of her handkerchief and
Cousin Deborah seemed like herself again. “Donald,” she said, “they
have begun it, and the good Lord is always on the side of the right.
Now I want you to go back to bed and get your rest.”
“Are you going back to bed, Cousin Deborah?”
“No; there will be no sleep for me this night.”
“Then I shall remain up also,” replied Don.
Cousin Deborah made no protest but went to the stove and poked
the fire.
The bell had ceased ringing now. The town of Concord was wide
awake.
While Don and his cousin were eating a hastily prepared breakfast
the Minute-Men and the militia assembled on the parade ground
near the meeting-house. Meanwhile other patriots were hard at work
transporting the military stores to a place of safety.
Dawn was breaking, and the mist was rising from the river when Don
and his cousin finally got up from the table. “Now, Donald,” said
Cousin Deborah, “I’ve been thinking all along of your Aunt Martha
and blaming myself for my selfishness in having you stay here with
me for so long. I’d give most anything if you were back there with
her. And yet——” She paused frowning.
“Oh, I can get back all right,” said Don confidently.
“How?”
“Why, by keeping off the roads as much as possible. I know the
country pretty well.”
“You’re a bright lad, Donald,” said Cousin Deborah. “You’re a bright
lad; and I don’t know but what you’d better start. Your aunt needs
you more than I do. But oh, Donald, you’ll be cautious!”
“I don’t think I ought to leave you here alone.”
“Drat the boy!” exclaimed his cousin and then smiled. “Bless you,
Donald,” she added, “I’ll be safe enough. I shall go to Mrs. Barton’s
until things are quiet again. Now go and get yourself ready.”
Don needed only a few moments in which to get his things together.
Then he walked with his cousin as far as Mrs. Barton’s house, which
was situated some distance beyond the North Bridge, bade her
good-bye and started back. It was growing lighter every minute now,
and the birds were singing in all the trees. On the road he met a
Minute-Man who was hurrying in the opposite direction, and asked
him the news.
“Regulars fired on our boys at Lexin’ton,” replied the fellow as he
hurried past. Over his shoulder he shouted, “Killed six of ’em—war’s
begun!”
Don said not a word in reply, but stood stock still in the road. For
some reason a great lump had come into his throat, and he thought
of his Aunt Martha. He must get to her as quickly as possible.
As he came near the North Bridge he saw the Provincial troops—the
Minute-Men and the militia of the town and detachments of Minute-
Men from some of the outlying towns; and all the while fresh soldiers
were hurrying to swell the numbers. The British, he soon learned,
were on their way to Concord, and several companies of Provincials
had gone out to meet them.
Don left the town and struck off into the open country several
hundred yards from the Lexington road. After a few minutes of rapid
walking he saw the detachment of Americans coming back. He
quickened his pace and finally broke into a run.
He had gone something more than a mile and a half when he
suddenly stopped and threw himself on the ground. There on the
road, marching steadily in the direction of Concord, was a large force
of regulars. He could see the flash of metal and the bright red of their
coats. For a while he lay there, panting. Then at last, spying a great
rock with a hollow just behind it, he crept toward it and waited.
The long column advanced slowly. Now Don could hear the crunch
of their feet on the hard road. He lifted his head cautiously and
began to count; there must easily be a thousand Redcoats. The
crunching grew louder as the head of the column came almost
opposite to him. Now he could hear the rattle of equipment and the
occasional jangling of a sword.
He Lifted His Head Cautiously and Began to Count.
It was some time before the rear of the column had passed. He
waited until it was perhaps a quarter of a mile up the road and then
got to his feet. He ought not to have much trouble in reaching Boston
if he started at once. He was about to resume his journey when a
fresh thought came to him. Ought he to go without knowing what
was to happen to the town of Concord—and to his Cousin Deborah?
For at least five minutes he struggled with the question. “No, I
oughtn’t!” he declared at last and, turning suddenly, began to retrace
his steps.
It was close to seven o’clock when the regulars, in two columns,
marched into Concord and sent a party over the North Bridge into
the country. Don found a clump of spruces growing on a hillside and
climbed into the lower branches of one of them. From that position
he could see the scattered houses and the two bridges, though the
distance was too great for him to be able to distinguish features or
even the outlines of anybody in the town.
Part of the King’s force seemed to have disbanded, and later when
Don heard the ring of axes he suspected that they were destroying
the stores that had not been carried away. “Well,” he thought, “they
won’t be able to destroy much.”
But when he distinguished blue smoke curling upward from several
places near the centre of the town he almost lost his grip on the
branch to which he was clinging. One of them was the court-house!
Where was the militia? Where were the Minute-Men? He made out
the peaked roof of his cousin’s house and the great elm standing
beside it, and observed with some satisfaction that no Redcoats
were close to it. Then a while later he saw the thread of smoke
above the court-house grow thinner, and at last it disappeared
altogether.
Don held his position in the tree for more than an hour. He ground
his teeth as he saw a detachment of soldiers leave the town and cut
down the liberty pole on the side of the hill. Where were the Minute-
Men and the militia?
The main body of the regulars was well inside the town. At the South
Bridge there was a small party on guard, and at the North Bridge
was another party of about one hundred. Don was so much occupied
with watching the Redcoats that he had failed to observe a long
double column of Provincials coming down the hill beyond the North
Bridge; they were moving at a fast walk and carried their guns at the
trail.
At first glance he thought there were no more than a hundred of
them, but as he watched he was forced to conclude that there were
at least three hundred. He pulled himself farther out on the limb and
waited.
The detachment of regulars, who were on the far side of the bridge,
hastily retired across it and prepared for an attack. When the
Provincials were a few rods distant the Redcoats opened fire, then
waited and fired again, and Don saw two men fall. Then he saw a
succession of bright flashes and heard the crash of arms as the
Provincials returned the fire. Several of the enemy fell. Then there
was more firing, and in a few minutes the British left the bridge and
ran in great haste toward the main body, a detachment from which
was on the way to meet them. The Provincials pursued the regulars
over the bridge and then divided; one party climbed the hill to the
east, and the other returned to the high grounds.
Don found himself trembling all over; he felt sick and dizzy. With
much difficulty he reached the ground, where he lay for a few
minutes. On getting to his feet, he saw the Redcoats who had first
crossed the North Bridge returning. In the town there seemed to be
much confusion; the sun glanced on red coats and polished
trimmings as men hurried here and there.
Don would not trust himself to climb the tree again, but threw himself
on the ground at the foot of it. He would rest for a while and then set
out on his long journey back to Boston, fairly confident that his
cousin had not been harmed. He had not slept a wink since some
time between one and two o’clock in the morning; now it was after
ten o’clock. So when his head began to nod he did not try very hard
to fight off sleep.
CHAPTER VI
ACROSS THE FLATS

Don was wakened by the sound of firing. He sat up and rubbed his
eyes; then, looking at the sun, he guessed that twelve o’clock had
passed. He could see nothing of the Redcoats; nor could he see
smoke anywhere inside the town. From the east came the sound of
firing that had wakened him, and men with muskets were hurrying
across fields in that direction. For a moment he thought of returning
to his Cousin Deborah’s; then he decided to push for Boston as fast
as he could.
Half running, half walking, he made his way in a southeasterly
direction in order to avoid the main road. Once he wondered whether
the Redcoat Harry Hawkins was with this expedition of British troops,
but somehow the thought was painful, and he turned his mind to
other things.
For some time he had been climbing a rocky hillside; now, on
reaching the crest, he got his last glimpse of the skirmish. The British
were in the road just outside of Lexington, and, far off as Don was,
he could see plainly that they were having a hard time of it. He could
see the flash of sabres as if the officers were urging their men to
advance. One officer was prancing here and there on a spirited black
horse, as if he had lost control of the animal. Then Don saw part of
the King’s troops open fire and saw a dozen or more muskets flash
in reply along an old stone wall on the opposite side of the road.
Before he heard the reports of them he saw the black horse fall.
Another glance and he saw a company of Minute-Men crossing a
distant field at a rapid pace. The sight of a battle going on almost
under his nose, the sound of guns, the smell of powder, all seemed
to hold him spell-bound, and only the thought of his Aunt Martha
alone in the little house in Pudding Lane caused him to turn and
hurry on his way.
Soon he was out of hearing of the firing, but from time to time he saw
detachments of Minute-Men and militia marching to the east. Once
he stopped at a solitary farmhouse and asked for something to eat.
A woman who was alone except for a little girl of nine or ten years
gave him bread and cheese and then prepared a small bundle of the
food for him to take along.
Don told her what he had seen at Concord and at Lexington, and her
lips quivered; but she smiled at him. “Such a day!” she exclaimed.
“My husband and my three brothers have gone. It seems that all the
men from the village have gone. I have heard that the town of
Dedham is almost empty; even the company of gray-haired old
veterans of the French Wars has gone. Such a day! Be careful, my
boy, and return to your aunt as soon as possible.”
Don thanked her for her kindness as he was leaving the house, and
soon he was hurrying on his way toward Boston. From Glen Drake
he had learned many of the secrets of woodcraft and had little
trouble in making his way through the thickets in the vicinity of Fresh
Pond. But mishaps will sometimes overtake the best of woodsmen.
As Don was descending a slope on the western side of the pond he
stepped on a loose stone, which turned under his weight and sent
him crashing headlong to the bottom. He lay there with teeth set and
both hands clenched; a sharp pain was throbbing and pounding in
his right ankle. Little drops of perspiration stood out like beads on his
forehead.
For several minutes he lay there; then as the pain decreased in
violence he sat up. But later when he rose he found that he dared
not put any weight at all on his right foot. Here was a predicament!
There was not a house in sight; he was a long way from the nearest
road; and night was coming on.
He tried to climb the slope down which he had slid, but the effort only
sent sharp pains shooting up his leg. Even when he crawled for only
a dozen yards or so on his hands and knees the pain would force
him to stop; it seemed that he could not move without giving the
ankle a painful wrench. Several times he shouted for help, but he
had little hope that anybody would be in that vicinity to hear him. So
at last he dragged himself to a little cove that was overgrown with
birches and willows; there he loosened his shoe and rubbed his
swollen ankle.
“Well,” he said to himself, “I’ve got to stay here all night, and I
haven’t a thing except my knife and——” He interrupted himself with
an exclamation; his knife was not in his pocket. Then he
remembered that he had left it at his Cousin Deborah’s.
The missing knife made his situation even more desperate than he
had supposed it was. With a knife he might have fashioned a bow
such as he had once seen Glen Drake use for lighting a fire; as it
was, he should have to keep warm as best he could.
The first thing he did was to choose a convenient hollow that was
protected at the back by the hill and on the sides by birches and the
willows. Then, breaking off a quantity of branches, he fashioned a
rude but effective windbreak for the front. By the time he had finished
doing that work it was twilight, and a cool wind was blowing across
the pond.
Don opened the package of food that the good lady at the farmhouse
had given him. There were bread and cheese and three small ginger
cakes; and when he had eaten half the food and put the rest by till
morning he felt a good deal better. Pulling his coat up round his
neck, he snuggled down on the light branches with which he had
carpeted the floor of his bower and prepared to wait for morning.
All light had faded from the sky, and the wind was rising steadily.
Loose twigs all round him tapped incessantly against one another in
tune with the wind. Don shivered and forgot the dull pain in his ankle.
Out in the pond and down close to the shore on both sides of the
cove he could hear strange little splashes, and in the thickets behind
him a pair of owls were calling every now and then. If it had not been
for thoughts of Aunt Martha, Don might really have enjoyed his
experience. He did not doubt that he should be able to walk in the
morning, and he rather liked being out alone as Glen Drake had
been many, many times.
Once he dozed off and awoke some time later, feeling cold and
hungry. The twigs were tapping all about him; somewhere far to the
south a hound was baying mournfully; and in front of him the moon
had covered the pond with a silvery sheen.
Again Don dozed off, and then awoke with a violent start. Somebody
—or something—was moving about in the underbrush on the slope
above him. Then a stone rattled down and bounded into the water.
Startled at the loud splash it made, Don gave an involuntary
exclamation. An instant later he heard someone call his name.
“O Don!” the call was repeated.
Don sat up. “Who is it?” he shouted in reply.
“Yer safe and sound? Praise be for that!”
“Glen!” cried Don, pulling himself upward.
In a moment the old trapper was at the foot of the slope, and Don
was explaining the accident that had befallen him.
“Well, yer a plucky lad,” said Glen. “I tracked ye all the way from
Concord, and when I found you was headin’ fer Fresh Pond I began
to have my fears. Here, now, let me take ye on my back, and we’ll
talk as we go along.”
Don was a sturdy boy and unusually solid for his age, but Glen
Drake lifted him to his back as if he had been no more than a child;
Don could feel the muscles in the old trapper’s shoulders play up
and down as Glen climbed the slope easily and walked quite as well
as if it had been daylight.
“What happened to the Redcoats, Glen?” asked Don.
“They got licked,” Glen replied promptly. “They ran most all the way
from Lexin’ton, and some of ’em fell and lay still with their tongues a-
hanging out; they were that tired. They lost a lot of men, Don, and
serves ’em right. Our boys kept a-coming from all directions—and
most of ’em know how to shoot too! I tell you, if a second force of the
King’s men hadn’t come out, not one of the Redcoats that tried to
burn Concord would have got back alive. Now they’re sewed up tight
in Boston; we’ve got an army watchin’ the town, and it’s growing
every minute.”
“How’s Aunt Martha, and how am I ever going to get back to her?”
“Your Aunt Martha is all right—at least, she was the last I saw her. As
to how you’re a-goin’ to get back, I can’t say for certain. But I’ll get
you back somehow; you trust me for that.”
“Where’s Uncle David?”
“He’s at Cambridge with the army. I’m sort of with the army myself,
though I don’t guess I’ll ever do much drillin’.” Glen Drake chuckled.
“Morning’s a-coming, Don; morning’s a-coming, and we’re at war!”
Don thought of his Aunt Martha, alone in Pudding Lane.
All the while Glen had been tramping with long strides in the
direction of the main part of Cambridge. Only once did he pause,
and then it was to fill his pipe. At last he turned into a lane at the right
of the road and approached a small house that overlooked the river.
By that time dawn was well on the way.
Don observed two or three soldiers at the side of the house; they
