In making the arrangements by which Captain Lawton had been left, with Sergeant Hollister and twelve men, as a guard over the wounded, and heavy baggage of the corps, Dunwoodie had consulted not only the information which had been conveyed in the letter of Colonel Singleton, but the bruises of his comrade's body.
Dunwoodie, amikor a sebesültek és a nehezebb málha őrizetére éppen Lawton kapitányt hagyta hátra Hollister őrmester és tizenkét dragonyos társaságában, nemcsak a Singleton ezredestől kapott levélnek engedelmeskedett, hanem a kapitány zúzódásait is tekintetbe vette.
