I made him come back and give up the watch, at the same time telling him he was nothing but a thief, and then ordering him to leave, which he did. In a few moments, Colonel Burgwyn said to me that he would never forget me, and I shall never forget the look he gave me as he spoke these words.

To this he had no reply to make since there is no contradiction of it than can be truthfully made. There is no discount on the gallantry
