about one company of men or one six
mule team at n trip. it was slow work.
After the accident at the ford the balance
of the teams were ordered To cross by tn.
ferry. and as il was found practicable for
the infantry to ford the rivers on the
route where the team had been washed
away. ii was ordered that they should
wade it at that place. 50 that the boat
could he used for the teams
With all the expedition l could use at
the ferry. and being given fresh detail
of men from each regiment. it was slow
work crossing the batteries and mule
teams. The boat was an open fiat with
no railing around it, and some perverse
mule would now and then get frightened
at the water or something else, and go to
hacking away from the gunwale on one
side and probably crowd some other mule
or himself over the opposite gunwale into
the water. When n mule once gets his
ears full of water he loses heart and will
easily drown unless his head is held above
water 10y some one. | and several of the
ferrymen were in the water up to our
necks frequently during the night saving
the contrary brntes-and l will here take
occasion to remark that holding the head
of frightened. plunging mule above wa
ter in the dark is no fun.
AT first we built fires on the banks to
make light to see how to work, but as
the light seemed to blind both us and the
mules. we put the fires ont and found il
was not so dark but what we could see
what we were doing.
We usually took the precaution to un-
hook the traces of the swing and lead
mules as soon as the team came onto the
boat, and if one fell overheard some man
would get hold of his bride and hold his
head above water at the gunwae till We
reached the shore; but occasionally one
would get overheard before we got his
traces unlocked, and then we would have
time unlocking him or stripping the
harness off in the water to keep him from
dragging another mule over.
This work we kept up all night long
ferrying mule and battery horse teams. The
batteries were not so much trouble; hav-
ing a trained driver to each span Of
horses. they went along all right; but
it all took time and much labor. / had

TIE LAW OF JUNE p. 1890. AND THE NEW
"AGE" ORDER.
The laws of June q, 1890, and May 9,
1900. provide for a pension, according to
degree of disability, from So to ST. per
month for any soldier of the War of the
Rebellion who served 80 days and was hon
orably discharged.
The new "AGE" Order simply says that
any claimant who has arrived at the age
of GO, or 65, or 6S, or 20, is presumed with
out further proof land, inferentially. with
out examination) to be suffering disability
sufficient to warrant Sc a month pension
at age of 81; So month at age of IS: SO
month at age of 6S and $12 month ar
age of 20.
To Those Who Have Never APP
piled for Pension.
We urge upon these comrades that
1t is their duty to apply. 1t many are so
well-to-do that they do not need it. they
can apply the money to help those who
do need it. Under this AGE"
Order an application can be made

animation, which probably removes q fea-
tnre that was Objectionable to many.
