THE SWAMP SCOUT.

BY W. J. HAMILTON, AUTHOR OF “PEDDLER SPY,” “SHAWNEES’ FOE,” “THE HUNCHBACK,” ETC.

Turning abruptly to the right, so as to get away from the main trail, he approached the island from behind. He did not expect to find Marion there. He knew very well that the Swamp Fox was in another part of the swamp, but he was confident that he should find either Peter Horry or his brother. Nor was he disappointed. As he approached the camp from behind he found himself safe from the view of the partisans by a fringe of low bushes. Lying prostrate behind these, he advanced on his belly, like a snake, until the sound of voices, evidently very near at hand, warned him to desist.
