The beds are spread in rows. The great hospital-tents stand one behind the other ; the canvas between them, . And, at either end, looped up high, so that the air can draw freely through. The beds lie in four long rows on the ground, from end to end, the outermost rows close down under the eaves, an aisle running down between. Beside ourselves, we have our stout negroes for help ; and, one by one, the ambulances are emptied. "Take them carefully, boys! Ambulance-driver, you are used to handling ...them. Get over from your seat in front, and manage the head of the poor pros trate fellow. Let one take the feet, as we slide him out ; now a stout one, to catch him at the hips. Care fully, down upon the canv-as I Stop groaning ! Poor fellow ! it is over. " 172 THE COLOR-GUARD. Here is one with foot mashed by a piece of shell. This one is struck in the calf.
