proposed bridge site We struck a
sandbar, however, and were obliged to
remain there until floated off by the
tide. We steamed back to the city and
tied up. No man could leave the boat
and it proved one of the most miser-
able nights of all of our army expert
ence. We were wet to the skin, cold
wind blew and there was no chance for
fire. On New Years Day the boat
was cut loose in the early morning, and
we succeeded in landing about 100
yards from the South Carolina shore
We remained in that vicinity, and
helped to ferry the brigade across in
old scows until near night. when we
marched five miles across the rice fields
to the timber land, near what was
known as the Cheves Farm. On Jan.

the Third Division, Twentieth Corps,
was the first TO enter Atlanta and the
Third Division was first into Savannah.
The facts are these: On Dec 81 the

the Savannah River, and halted near
where the pontooneers were attempting
to place the bridge over the second
channel, but failed that day by reason

Spencer carbine was instantly cooked,
and, feeling 1t certain that the enemy
was creeping on him, he opened fire,
aiming as best he could in the dark,
and he continued until the chambers
of his gun were empty. Instantly the
long roll and boots and saddles were
sounded, and quickly the two armies
were in battle array. The officer of
the day came to the videt, who made
faithful report of what had occurred.
The officer dismounted. and went CROP

discover the cause of alarm, and found
that 1t was a ringtailed coon. with Its

That overwhelming force was our

those SO men behind that natural earth
work and gobbled up all that didn't re-
treat at the first Irish Yankee yell they
heard. 1t was one company of the 61st
