One day Master Dumont asked me if I had seen Bob. I told him no. He told me that if I did to tell him to watch out because the Catlins were looking for him.
I was scared. I huddled by the barn window overlooking the yard. Suddenly I saw Bob at the gate. Then just a suddenly the Catlins came up and jumped on him. They began to beat him something awful. He was bleeding very badly.
I crutched the bars on the window. I saw them knock him down and heard him cry out for Jesus! "Who was that?" I wondered. "Could he help?"
