Described by QuoteAgain taking up tracks I came up with the leading lots on the 28th in three different scrubs in which the work of following them had to be done on foot and was successfully so done. But upon no occasion was it possible to bring the blacks to listen to parleying. They resist at first with spears & when that fails, break & scatter in all directions. At one of these last scrubs three of the troopers were narrowly missed by spears which these blacks throw with uncommon force & precision. Upon this day also the murderers were identified beyond the shadow of a doubt. [1]
