When he reached the Ohio River, with his master close on his trail, he had no choice but to swim across the river. His master was determined to not lose sight of him, so he kept his eyes on him while he attempted to find a boat, watching Davids climb onto the Ohio shore. When his master reached Ohio, he searched the shoreline before deciding to go into the town of Ripley. After finding no trace of his slave, he exclaimed "that his slave must have escaped on an underground railroad"
