From the Richmond Dispatch, 11/4/1861

Back Again. – Two Yankees, who had been in the prison hospital, were taken to "Chimborazo" last week and put to work, by way of exercise, when they took advantage of the kindness of the guard and ran away. After wandering about for some time, they got tired of a life of vagrancy, and stopped on Mr. Boulware's farm a few miles below Richmond, and begged for something to eat, which was given them. The proprietor of the place kindly sent them back to prison yesterday in a "tumbrill cart."
