Getting whiskey in Camp.
Baltimore SUM

Baltimore SUM
THE first Christmas I spent in the
army was a very dismal one rema rked
Lieutenant Crate, Of the Northeastern
district the other day. Lieutenant Crate
saw hard service in the Confederate
army, during the civil war.
II remember how the authorities got
next to the fact that a lot OF whiskey.
was being smuggled into the camp and
how the boys managed to outwit them
and get the liquor any how in time for
Christmas.
There was a baker who furnished the
camp with bread. After a short time it
was noticeable that every time the baker
visited the camp there was a large num-
Der Of the boys who were forced to do
penance for being drunk, an offence that
was strictly prohibited. The authorities
set watch. with tile result that one day
when the baker arrived his stock of bread
WIS inspected and a number of bottles of
good old whiskey discovered baked in
several Of the loves. The entire load was
confiscated, and sent to headquarters,
where, no doubt, it was deeply appre-
ciated.
For some time the boys were a their
wits end to contrive some scheme to
smuggle the whiskey into the camp with
out being detected, and at last one of
the crowd who liked his little tip so
we'll that he could not forego the pleasure
any longer, contrived an ingenious plan
that was bowling success from the start
and lasted for a long time before it was
eventually found out. When one of the
boys went down into town he would buy
a comon earthen jug and a number of
hog bladders The biadders were placed
in the jug in such a way that the openings
hung outside. The next visit was made
to where the whiskey was obtainable
Each bladder was then carefully filled
with the liquor, the neck tied up and let
down in the jug. After the jug was filled
with as many bladders as was necessary,
the next call would be made to grocery
where the space between the bladders and
the top OF the jug would be filled with
molasses. Coming back to camp, the man
with the jug would be halted by the SEN
try, who would dip his finger in the jug
to see what it contained, and finding
nothing but molasses. would permit the
owner to pass. When quarters were
cached the molasses was carefully drawn
off, after which the jug was broken and
the bladders of whiskey distributed to
those who had contributed toward the
purchase. 1t was many a long day before
it was found out where the soldiers Sc
cured their drinkables.'

describe an Outing With The President
in which you make illusions to his Sc
teemed and very worthy uncle, Captain
James d. Builoch. President Roosevelt
had two uncles in the Confederate navy,
both distinguished, but you mistake the
one for the other. Permit me to set you
right as to the services performed by
these gallant officers. Captain James
D. Bulloch was a lieutenant in the old
navy OF the date OF 1910 to 1S41,, and after
serving years as lieutenant, resigned his
commission and entered the merchant SER
vie, commanding steamship running
between New York and New Orleans. The
besilining of the war found him in COM
mand OF the steamship Bienville and
oNcrtIres We're made to him by the Gov
ernor of Louisiana TO turn the ship over
to tho State authorities. These, however
h, resisted, even to the extent of having
his loyalty TO the Southern cause sus-
pected. and it was not until he had salts
tled his honor by delivering the ship to
hei. or ners in New York that he felt at
liberty to embrace the cause OF his be-
loved South.
Captain Bulloch was Immediately ap-
pointed commander in the Confederate

accomplished his mission successfully,
and with the steamship Fingall latter

Dear Colcnel,-Your postal just re-
ceived. In answer, I wrote an account of
Joe Kendalrs death, which was published
iE the Warrenton Index, anc have no
copy Of it. The substance was: That my
battery. with the Fourth Georgia Regi-
ment, was on picket at Malvern Hill, on
August 5th, 1852, when the advance of Nc
Clellan's army (Hookers corps, attacked
the post at light OH that day. That we
held the post until morning, and then
fell back to New Market, without loss of
a gun, where General Toombs with the
advance of Lees army, was stationed.
When Toombs was informed by cavalry
that Hooker was advancing, he ordered
that Malvern Hill should be held at the
las extremity: as he intended to adv;ln' q
to it, and make that the battle ground.
During the engag cement, the gunner OF one
Of Carrolls guns, and Joe Kendall, With
his gun, were shot at the same tn1e-a
cannon ball cutting off Joe Kendalrs leg.
AS the detachmentS were very small, and
there were not men enough left to work
the gun, Carroll ordcicd the gun to be re-
tired and tho remaining men to concen-
tr;.te uoo the otner. When Kendall
called out. mo, lieutenant, let the driv-
e.s take our places at the guns, and /
will hold the horses. He was moved
Lack to tho horses heads. and at this time
I rode to the guns and ordered some OF
the drivers up to the gun I asked Ken
dali if could do anything for him, and
he replied that he was as good as Il dead
man. and could hold the horses after
he was dead, and then called out to me:
Captain don't let them take the bat
terry When I passed by the place q few
minutes after, he was dead, ana when we
received orders to fall back If we could,
we left him lying where he died.
Yours truly,
ROBERT NJ. STRlBLING."
Such glorious manhood should be per-
petuated in song and story. Stricken, he
was enduring; dying, he remained at his
post; dead. he relaxed not his grip. Cap
