THE SIXTH BATTALION.
Glad to Get Home From Their En-
campment at Harper's Ferry.

Glad to Get Home From Their En-
campment at Harper's Ferry.
The sixth battalion of the D. c. N. G. ar
rived home last night after a twelve days
encampment at Harper's Ferry. and right
glad they were to get back again. The ex-
periences they had while they were away
were such as they will remember for many
a day to come. They either had all the fun
there was, or they didn't have any. There
was no half way about it.
Up to the time of the storm Of Monday
night 1t was all right. The routine Of camp
life was regular and military discipline was
maintained at all times. but there were
plenty Of chances for social recreation
among the nice people who were making
their summer headquarters about Harper 8
Ferry. There were dances and parties OF
all sorts and up to the time of the storm
the work they did was admirable from a
military standpoint But when the storm
broke over the camp 1t cleaned up things
pretty effectually. The tents were all blown
down and the property of the brave soldier
boys was scattered far and wide over a
large section of West Virginia. A number
Of their uniforms were ruined and much
private property as well as requirements
belonging to the government was badly
damaged by mud and water.
This unpleasant experience rather damped
their military ardor and they decided to
break camp a day sooner than they had
planned, as 1t hardly seemed worth while to
go to the pains of Strengthening camp up
again. The evening before they started
home they gave another and final dance at
the Summit House. In the afternoon be-
fore dark the battalion was marched to
Bolivar Heights. where they had a sham
battle and skirmish drill.
After getting off the train here they
marched up Pennsylvania avenue to the
armory over Center market and unstrapped
their guns and knapsacks, tired and sleepy.
and anxious for a warm. dry bed.
