Artillery. On leaving Jalapa and getting
near Cerro Gordo, this party was informed
that it would not be prudent to go through
the pass, as there were about 1000 Mexi-
cans in the chaparral along the pass. Pre-
vIous to this, two officers who had gone to
the rear ofthe train were fired at from the
chaparral. At the mouth of the pass the
party was organised and marched through

Bridge that evening. Whilst they were
bivouacked on the other side of the Bridge,
being so tatigued that they were unable to
