thirst during forty hours, and if we can pro.

command have done their duty and covered

The enemy has seen that neither his advanta'

ground, nor the rigor Of the season (for it has
been raining during the action) could prevent
the terrible charge with the bayonet, which left
him terrified. SANTA ANNA.
