Last night the five companies that were

Gin were having disagreeable and un-
comfortable time. The officers and men
did not Ike their surroundings IN the
fort, and they were also rendered uncom-
Portable by the cold. The sudden change
in the weather made their blanketless
condition very Objectionable. and the
warmth they got was obtained through
sleeping I'm lunches Some OF the men had
a blanket each. but there were others
who were unproyided. The weather was
quite cold enough 10 make TWO blankets
necessary for comfort.
