see how the ni'll es.'aped.
ami' to eani:i, it was j,:row-
Ui r dark. W'e put oulposts 011 the
hills and arouni' the i'Umiii but hardly
. j was it dark when the rebels commerc
ed to jfr'her.
There urc many w ild doys in I he is
land. W'e heard the howling and
thought it was dos but discovered
later that it was the rebels siyualiuy.
At ! o'clock they commenced liriny
into our camp. They II red in voljeys
but as usual too hiyh. There was
nothing for us to do lint leave, us we
were encamped in the valley and the
rehels held all th" hills. In silence we
gathered our tiaps tonether, loaded
our native with the rations, and took
a river as our road. The water in
many places was up to our waists.
Wo marched until three o'clock next
morning, our inarch bcinjj unknown
to the enemy because of the roaring of
the stream as it passed over falls of
dilVerent heights. At three o'clock v.e
were ready to drop with fatigue, and
we simply lay down under the hi;;
rocks near tt high waterfall. 1 slept
with the spray dashing over me. W e
had 110 idea where we were. W'e were
as coiiuilelelv lost as the 'babes In the
woods."
At daylight we started to march
down the creek. Hardly had we left
the fall when we found ourselves in a
whole nest of rebel forts and rille its.
I was with the coolies and we ricived
the major portion of the lire. It was
comical to see our laborers jump be
hind the stones in the creek bottom
and hunt cover of any kind. One fel
low dropped a ha if of s 11 .'far in the
creek in his excitement. Another hid
himself, or rather his head in a tin
boiler used to cook codec. His legs
and posterior extremities must have
ali'orded a good mark for the enemy,
for the bullets played all around him.
Wc didn't return the lire because we
were short of ammunition. As my eoo-

how I escaped

I'lig-Joigenson wound in I by a Kn.istr, making u llesh wound 111
the calf of the right h g. After a (nmr
ter of 1111 hour, we were out of the range
of the rebels. At 1 o'clock we reached
a t amp of American soldiers on the
mi; me creek, or, rather, river. I'pou
examination I found that I had a hole
in my canteen, it being on .my right
side. Had the bull 't been an inch
nearer, 1 would have been in the hos
pital. Five days wo stayed in camp,
resting our wearied limbs and patch
ing uj) our sore feet. A detail went to
town and brought us back some clothes
and shoes.
"On the sixth day a rccoiinoiterlng
party went out and wrre driven back.
On Friday, four companies ' went out
(including our company ) after scaling
a mountain and viewing tho enemy's
position, it was deemed best not only
to return to camp, tmt to return to
town. After taking back the artillery
v.hich.had been brought from the tow n
of I'arcloon, Friday last v.e returned
to our old barracks. It will take at Mill
men to take those hills, and will cost
great loss of life.
