Wood" The incident occurred in very
cold weather and at an important crisis.
"At night time" said the narrator,
according to an exchange, ''when we
pickets arrived at the outposts Capt
Wood said:
"It is too severe for the men to face
this storm all night
''There was a small house close by,
and the captain directed that I'VE should
build fire in it and shelter ourselves

Evidently the men were forgiven as
well as their officer, for the narrator of
the story subsequently became a lieu
