Answer:

She would warn them, with a gun.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that she would pull out a gun and state "you will be free, or die a slave" because she knew that people turning back could put her and other fugitive slaves in extreme danger. So she would have to kill them before they could go back, or tell them to continue.
