the grasses of the plain and they
must needs have been succulent and
surcharged with moisture. Perhaps
the monster browsed upon the leaves
of trees and they must have been
heavily laden with sap, tender as the
sprouts of asparagus. These silici-
fed bones will doubtless prove that
Nevada, instead of being a succession
of salt lakes in ancient days was a
fertile, tree-covered realm before the
Sierras were born. Then the clouds
dropped their benisons over hill and

plant life thrived and grew abund-
antly, even as it did eras before

J. G. Manchester is correct. AT that time

several others, was ordered to 60 out be-
yond the point where Grants road left the
old Petersburg road, and construct plat
form for that gun. We found it just be-
yond the point where Grants road branch
ed off from the Petersburg road and City
Point road. On the tracks of the latter;
behind q wooded knoll, which prevented
it being seen from Petersburg, the gun was
mounted on small car, apparently made
especially for it. l measured its bore. The
Johnnies tried firing shells at us while we
were building the platform, but they did
not get the range. There was spur track
laid from the old road up onto the side of
the hill, where the platform had been built,
and the gun was run onto the platform.
NV memory is that at the first shot fired
from it, the platform gave way, and the
gun rolled off The platform was rebuilt.
but the Johnnies got the range this time,
so that they made it interesting for the
constructors. The job was completed and
the gun again mounted, and did good ser
vice. The above is written entirely from
memory, since made no notes of the Incl
dent.

the front, from collision. and perhaps

telling him that after 40 days he would

his aunt to the Virgin Mary, his life
would be saved. The dream made

it in mind, counting up the days. On the

for three days rations, and double sup

they started out on the march, and began
