That successful raid gave me cour- age, and I began to think that was what I was destined for, and I liked it hrst-rate, for it was a pleasure to me to see those poor, hungry boys have any delicacy, or even enough of ordinary food. That night we had to halt, for the rebs had burned the bridge, and we had to wait for pontoons. The boys were tired and hungry. A guard was posted to prevent any foraging, but I was a priv- ileged character, and I bolted through the lines. I had seen some pigs and ca...lves scamper into the swamp about half a mile back from where we halted, and thinking a bit of fresh meat would be nice for the boys, I determined to have some. Cautiously I stole away, till I arrived at the edge of the swamp ; and such a jungle! It was almost impossible to pen- etrate it, so I skirted the edge, hoping to see a pig emerge. After tramping an hour I was rewarded by seeing a calf. I drew my revolver, sneaked up and fired at poor bossy. It dropped — I was a good shot — but when I reached the poo' > ast I found it was as poor as a rail and covered with sores as big as my hand.
