can't conceive OF what an awful thing
lt Is, and It was not long before the
Spanish realized this and beat hasty
retreat for the walls of Manila. The
bombardment lasted just fifty min

order went down the line to advance,
and then began one Of the greatest
marches | ever took part in. Across

stopped for nothing. We could see

they fred too high and the shots
went over our heads. The captain
gave orders not to fire unless we had
something to shoot at and in the
whole battle | only fired ten shots
while some of the boys did not get to
fire shot. It is almost impossible
for me to give you an account Of our
