It began to rain again, and the roads were mire traps. As they struggled on into evening Kirby found a barn which appeared to be out by itself with no house in attendance. The door was wedged open with a drift of undisturbed soil and Boyd, exploring into a ragged straggle of brush in search of a well, reported a house cellar hole. The place must be abandoned and so safe.
“We’ll be in Cadiz tomorrow,” Hart said.
“An’ how do we ride in?” Kirby wanted to know. “Another bearer-of-the-flag stunt?”
“Is Cadiz a Union town?” Drew asked Hart.
The other laughed. “Not much, it ain’t. This is tobacco country; you seen that for yourself today. An’ there’s guerrillas to give the Yankees trouble. They hole up in the Brelsford Caves, six or seven miles outta town. We can ride right in, and there ain’t nobody gonna care.”
“Nice to know these things ahead’a time,” Kirby remarked. “So we ride in—lookin’ for what?”
Hart glanced at Drew but remained silent. The scout shrugged. “Information about the rivers and any stray garrison news. You have kin here, Hart?”
“Some.” But the other did not elaborate on that.
Drew was thinking about those guerrillas; their presence did not match Hart’s story about the Yankee gold in the bank. Such irregulars would have been after that long ago. He didn’t know why Hart had pitched Campbell such a tale, but he was dubious about the whole setup now. Better make this a quick trip in—and out—of town.
