We encamped on "Pike's Plantation, " in a field where cane had been grown the year before. The furrows were very deep, and the rain soon filled them with water. Here we were nevertheless tired enough to sleep, but many a poor fellow contracted the fever that day a. Id night, which, within a fortnight, consigned him to a furrow in which he still lies. 21. It was contrary to orders for any one to fire off a piece in camp, as false alarms were to be deprecated. One of our officers was under arrest... for a week for firing off a pistol. The boys were sometimes very sure that their guns were so rusty that they wouldn't go off, and the cartridges couldn't be drawn with a wormer, and furthermore, an attack from the rebels was hourly expected. Yet if an unlucky pri* Vate tried his piece, and it did go, he was summoned up in front of the Colonel's 21 quarters and ordered to do penance by standing there under arms till duly released. The muse records this as an instance of dilemmas in which soldiers were sometimes placed.
