This
man
’
s
name
was
Grant
,
but
he
was
called
“
Gray
Grant
”
,
or
“
Governor
Grant
”
.
He
had
been
the
longest
on
that
stand
of
any
of
the
men
,
and
he
took
it
upon
himself
to
settle
matters
and
stop
disputes
.
He
was
generally
a
good
-
humored
,
sensible
man
;
but
if
his
temper
was
a
little
out
,
as
it
was
sometimes
when
he
had
drunk
too
much
,
nobody
liked
to
come
too
near
his
fist
,
for
he
could
deal
a
very
heavy
blow
.
The
first
week
of
my
life
as
a
cab
horse
was
very
trying
.
I
had
never
been
used
to
London
,
and
the
noise
,
the
hurry
,
the
crowds
of
horses
,
carts
,
and
carriages
that
I
had
to
make
my
way
through
made
me
feel
anxious
and
harassed
;
but
I
soon
found
that
I
could
perfectly
trust
my
driver
,
and
then
I
made
myself
easy
and
got
used
to
it
.
Jerry
was
as
good
a
driver
as
I
had
ever
known
,
and
what
was
better
,
he
took
as
much
thought
for
his
horses
as
he
did
for
himself
.
He
soon
found
out
that
I
was
willing
to
work
and
do
my
best
,
and
he
never
laid
the
whip
on
me
unless
it
was
gently
drawing
the
end
of
it
over
my
back
when
I
was
to
go
on
;
but
generally
I
knew
this
quite
well
by
the
way
in
which
he
took
up
the
reins
,
and
I
believe
his
whip
was
more
frequently
stuck
up
by
his
side
than
in
his
hand
.
In
a
short
time
I
and
my
master
understood
each
other
as
well
as
horse
and
man
can
do
.
In
the
stable
,
too
,
he
did
all
that
he
could
for
our
comfort
.
The
stalls
were
the
old
-
fashioned
style
,
too
much
on
the
slope
;
but
he
had
two
movable
bars
fixed
across
the
back
of
our
stalls
,
so
that
at
night
,
and
when
we
were
resting
,
he
just
took
off
our
halters
and
put
up
the
bars
,
and
thus
we
could
turn
about
and
stand
whichever
way
we
pleased
,
which
is
a
great
comfort
.
Jerry
kept
us
very
clean
,
and
gave
us
as
much
change
of
food
as
he
could
,
and
always
plenty
of
it
;
and
not
only
that
,
but
he
always
gave
us
plenty
of
clean
fresh
water
,
which
he
allowed
to
stand
by
us
both
night
and
day
,
except
of
course
when
we
came
in
warm
.
Some
people
say
that
a
horse
ought
not
to
drink
all
he
likes
;
but
I
know
if
we
are
allowed
to
drink
when
we
want
it
we
drink
only
a
little
at
a
time
,
and
it
does
us
a
great
deal
more
good
than
swallowing
down
half
a
bucketful
at
a
time
,
because
we
have
been
left
without
till
we
are
thirsty
and
miserable
Some
grooms
will
go
home
to
their
beer
and
leave
us
for
hours
with
our
dry
hay
and
oats
and
nothing
to
moisten
them
;
then
of
course
we
gulp
down
too
much
at
once
,
which
helps
to
spoil
our
breathing
and
sometimes
chills
our
stomachs
.
But
the
best
thing
we
had
here
was
our
Sundays
for
rest
;
we
worked
so
hard
in
the
week
that
I
do
not
think
we
could
have
kept
up
to
it
but
for
that
day
;
besides
,
we
had
then
time
to
enjoy
each
other
’
s
company
.
It
was
on
these
days
that
I
learned
my
companion
’
s
history
.
Captain
had
been
broken
in
and
trained
for
an
army
horse
;
his
first
owner
was
an
officer
of
cavalry
going
out
to
the
Crimean
war
.
He
said
he
quite
enjoyed
the
training
with
all
the
other
horses
,
trotting
together
,
turning
together
,
to
the
right
hand
or
the
left
,
halting
at
the
word
of
command
,
or
dashing
forward
at
full
speed
at
the
sound
of
the
trumpet
or
signal
of
the
officer
.
He
was
,
when
young
,
a
dark
,
dappled
iron
-
gray
,
and
considered
very
handsome
.
His
master
,
a
young
,
high
-
spirited
gentleman
,
was
very
fond
of
him
,
and
treated
him
from
the
first
with
the
greatest
care
and
kindness
.
He
told
me
he
thought
the
life
of
an
army
horse
was
very
pleasant
;
but
when
it
came
to
being
sent
abroad
over
the
sea
in
a
great
ship
,
he
almost
changed
his
mind
.
“
That
part
of
it
,
”
said
he
,
“
was
dreadful
!
Of
course
we
could
not
walk
off
the
land
into
the
ship
;
so
they
were
obliged
to
put
strong
straps
under
our
bodies
,
and
then
we
were
lifted
off
our
legs
in
spite
of
our
struggles
,
and
were
swung
through
the
air
over
the
water
,
to
the
deck
of
the
great
vessel
.
There
we
were
placed
in
small
close
stalls
,
and
never
for
a
long
time
saw
the
sky
,
or
were
able
to
stretch
our
legs
.
The
ship
sometimes
rolled
about
in
high
winds
,
and
we
were
knocked
about
,
and
felt
bad
enough
.
“
However
,
at
last
it
came
to
an
end
,
and
we
were
hauled
up
,
and
swung
over
again
to
the
land
;
we
were
very
glad
,
and
snorted
and
neighed
for
joy
,
when
we
once
more
felt
firm
ground
under
our
feet
.
“
We
soon
found
that
the
country
we
had
come
to
was
very
different
from
our
own
and
that
we
had
many
hardships
to
endure
besides
the
fighting
;
but
many
of
the
men
were
so
fond
of
their
horses
that
they
did
everything
they
could
to
make
them
comfortable
in
spite
of
snow
,
wet
,
and
all
things
out
of
order
.
