the impression that but four guns were in action"
This probably grew out OF the fact that at the time
the 9th halted to support us, two of the guns Of tho
battery had been disabled by breaking Of their
pointinR-rings or other gear, 40 they were tempo
rary silenced. But they were hauled of with the
rest and were soon made ready for action again
after we got in position near the Cemetery gnte.

most conventional type. 1t amuses me TO see this
poor child portrayed in n long riding habit with
fashionable hat on her head She wore short

jacket OF the same material and had whatI believe
the ladies call " nubia" tied around her head.

after we had gone about five miles she com planned
that her rstirrup-fOotandan ank 10 were numb with cod
being exposed on account Of her lack of a riding
habit. so unroled my blanket and fastened it
about her waist in such n way that the lower end
would fall below her stirrup-foot and thus pro-
tect it from the cold. During this operation OBJ
served that she had a very pretty foot, notwith-
standing that 10 was incased in shoe much the
worse for wear. But the nearest approach to
conventional riding habit was the folds of my old
army blanket falling below her stirrup. Riding
habits were scarce in the South ut that time. La
