'The Year That Never Was' - Page 70:
'We're to make camp here. Captain Hunt had been delivered an important message which he's taken care of himself. Until then I suppose we'll settle into our new quarters. Appears this is where we'll be living.' Joe explained.
Whilst Joe settled into his quarters in the main building Captain Hunt arrived at his quarters. 'Lieutenant Gibson. Make yourself at home. I need to leave Fort Edward with some of my men to check out information which I received. Shouldn't be too long. On my return I'll fill you in on our next strategy.' Captain Hunt left.
Joe remained in his quarters thinking about what to do next. The soldier who would fill him in on what Captain Hunt is doing would be Lieutenant Handcock. Joe left his quarters in search of Lieutenant Handcock.
Wandering through the camp saluting soldiers in return to their salute Joe found Lieutenant Handcock. 'May I have a word with you please Lieutenant Handcock?' Joe asked.
'May we go to your quarters?' Lieutenant Handcock asked. Joe nodded.
After they settled at Joe's quarters Joe said, 'Captain Hunt has requested to make myself at home. Also, he left Fort Edward with some men to check out information. You're the person who can help me understand what's going on. Can you explain what Captain Hunt is doing?' Joe asked.
Lieutenant Handcock relaxed in his chair. 'I suppose you better be kept in the loop. Captain Hunt received confirmed intelligence from a Native runner about Sergeant Cecil's patrol being ambushed near Medingen Mission Station. Instead of sending myself or any other officers, he's gone to find out what happened. Captain Hunt is a great soldier. I'm certain he'll be okay.' Lieutenant Handcock explained.
'I appreciate you keep me in the loop Lieutenant Handcock. If you would.' Joe answered.
'Is that all for now?' Lieutenant Handcock rose, saluted, left the quarters.
