He was cutting oats near the fort. He stayed out after night fall. Then he saw four men approaching from the direction of the fort with four scythes on their shoulders. They never spoke but started to cut the oats along with him. They cut all the oats and stooked it. Then they shouldered their scythes and went back to the fort again. Thomas Conaty was an uncle of my Fathers. I am his grand daughter.
