just then he was hit. -

the word ran down the line that the
colonel was shot, and then they started
forward like demons, never stopping
for commands or orders, and they got
to the wall and swarmed over it and
took the town before they stopped.
"Papa lived an hour after he was
shot, and knew before he died that the
town was taken. General Wheaton
came up to him and said, 'Egbert, you
made gallant fight. And papa, lying
on the litter, smiled and said, We took
the town anyway, general. -
Colonel Egbert's comrades in Cuba
believed that his San Juan wound had
not completely healed, and that the
effects of it caused him to succumb so
quickly at Malinta.

all kept steadily firing without any
thought of stopping until the order

reluctant duty to give. | saw that the
force on the hill, in its intrenched posi-
tion, was entirely too strong for mine,
and, if we remained another ten
minutes, the regiment would be de-
stroyed. therefore, with my adjutant,
Lieutenant Bennet, walked along the
line and cautioned the company Com
manders to move by the flank quietly,
but rapidly, to the road again, which
was done in excellent order, carrying
our dead and wounded along with us.

safety under the overhanging bank of
the river we resumed the fire from the

was shot through the lungs, but as he
dropped behind he saw that the charge
had gained an impetus not to be stop

hill. His regiment had led off and
placed its name at the head of the roll
of honor in losses as well as in gallantry.
