In this position he awaited results, until the Pennsylvania reserves, like a lot of game cocks repelling invading roosters from their dunghill, came driving the rebels over him like a flock of sheep. In a half hour more Tom had picked up a good musket for the morrow s fight, regained his reg...iment, and reported for duty, where he was welcomed to life by comrades who had thought him dead.
