Towards jiight a very hard rain came down, which gave ns another rinsing. We moved back a piece where there w^ere large fresh brush jiiles. These we fired and, while they lasted we had comfortable warmth. Then we lay down on the wet ground and courted sleep. Abou...t 9 p. M. Orders were passed along to get up and move.

He was one of the men that had won the reputa- tion of loving the terrors of battle. He had lost an arm in Mexico, but single handed he would go into a fight, as an eater would go to a banquet.
