ually be found on the firing line looking
after the wounded.
Company b of the support followed close
behind to render assistance If needed and
for time was under heavy fire. In this
charge Company l. had one officer (Cap-
tain Taylor) and seven men wounded, but
none seriously. Twenty-one insurgents were
found killed and about thirty Remington
rifles, which were destroyed by our men
beyond further usage. Lieutenant Storch,
commanding Company c, received slight
wound in the forearm, but continued In
command of his company.
Our first stop was made on the Caloocan-
Bolintdrag road at 1920 a. m. Here the
regiment was reformed and took a short
rest. while the officers took an observation
of the surrounding country. Colonel Stot-
senberg sent his orderly to San Francisco
del Monte to find Companies C, L and B..
which had become detached from the regi-
ment, who, after a dilgent search finally
found the three companies coming over the
hill, where the balance Of the regiment had
formerly battled. The regiment In the
meantime had moved northward several
miles, again halting on a small hill along
side a strip of heavy timber. Here hasty
lunch OF hardtack and canned salmon. with
a cup OF dirty water in lieu of coffee, was
disposed of.
Exhnusting March.
Soon the regiment was Joined by Com
panes G, l. and B, that managed to find
their command after an exhausted march
After a short rest the regiment moved by
the left flank to the west again connect

soon engaged the enemy, who were moving
across our front at a distance Of about 800
yards, but a few volleys from the long toms
soon put them to flight. The regiment then

fires over which each man was cooking his
own supper. Every imaginable branch OF
the military service was represented In this
one camp. In addition to the three brigadcs
of infantry there were detachments Of ar

hospital corps with Chinese litter bearers
and ambulance wagons. The pack horses,
wagon trains and caraboo carts followed IN
the rear and made good sized camp by
themselves The distance covered by the
Nebraskans during the day was approx
mately twenty three miles, with heavy re-
sistance from the enemy the greater part
of the day.
The following day about $3.50 a. m. the
lines were again formed, the Nebraskans
