Sinton left Billy in the carriage, hitched the horses and went to explain to her. He had not reached her before she cried, "Look, Wesley, that child! You'll have a runaway!" Wesley looked and ran. Billy was standing in the carriage slashing the mettlesome horses with the whip. "See me make 'em go!" he shouted as the whip fell a second time. He did make them go. They took the hitching post and a few fence palings, which scraped the paint from a wheel.
