about between the lines in zone of
fire from both armies.
Jennie saw what happened to
his friend. He rushed to the wounded
man and managed to pilot him to
place Of reasonable safety. Giving Bar
tholomew drink Of water from his
canteen, the little drummer dashed
away to find the regimental surgeon.
The doctor probed the wound with his
fingers and told the boy that the adju-
tant was done for and it would do no
good to move him. But after the doctor
had gone to other duties the boy hunt
ed up the big drum major, Charles Wi
ley. who helped him carry Bartholo-
new to house. When the Union
forces were driven back, Jennie" re-
fused to leave his friend to fall into the
enemy's hands. He succeeded in get
ting the officer into an army wagon
and remained In attendance until Bar
tholomew was safe in the Federal hos
pital on Roanoke island. The adjutant
recovered and told what the boy had
done for him. More than thirty years
later Judge Langbein received the
medal of honor for that service.
Two other young drummers from
New York were Fred W. Ritschy and
Philip Corell, both with the Ninety
ninth volunteers. These boys were
boon companions throughout their serv-
ice of three years. After they returned
home and grew up they married sisters
and for many years lived within few
blocks Of each other. Like Jennie"
Langbein, these boys saw much service
in the region near Norfolk, Va. Mr..
Ritschy in later life told some interest
ing facts about the life Of the drummer
boys.
I'VE lived the same as the soldiers"
he said, "being served with the same
sort of uniforms, generally too big,
and the same sort of rations.s

Phil Corell told how he and Fred
Ritschy were put to bed one night by
a motherly southern woman in her
guest chamber, tucked in "just like
mother used to do at home" and then
given a good night kiss by the tender
hearted Virginia lady, who had boy
of her own in the field fighting against
them. Next morning their hostess
gave them fine breakfast and then
loaded them down with yams.
