told what part they were to play in the
drama of the morrow. but We're fairly Ger
tain that, outside of scouting, the prosaic
work of guarding the munitiOn train was
cut out for them. Thanks to the fact that
the insurgents do not use the sights on
their guns and therefore shoot high. though
Major RuCker men were well in the back
ground. two of them were wounded by the
fire directed toward the 10th Pennsylvania
as it charged. and another was wounded
at midday by a stray bullet when they
were back of the staff and supposed to be
out of the range of fire.
AT O'Clock there remained between Gen.
Hale's brigade and the other side of the
river a fertilization, which the natives had
ingenously made by first building earth
works on the stone buttress of a bridge,
then laying a row of stones on the dirt, and
over them one of the girders of the bridge.
The spaces between the stones formed loop
