OLD SOLDIER TELLS A STORY
"reminiscences of Winter FIFTY years
Ago Are Related by Veteran At 2
tackled by Woodticks.

Fifty years ago at this time," saio
the old soldier, 1--WE were where IL was
warmer, on an island well down on the
southern Atlantic coast.
"As far as the temperature went, 1t
was very comfortable. And 1t was al
SO picturesque as to scenery. mere
were palmetto trees around and big
oaks with long brown moss hanging.
from them, and trees Of various sorts.
Also there was now and then a cent?
pede crawling around and there were
woodticks mad fieas, and occasionally
an alligator.
cat first the woodticks bothered us
considerably till We learned how to-
handle them. This particular brand OF
woodtick has a spiral mead not unlike
the point of a gimlet and 1t bores into
the flesh At first when we found wood
ticks attacking us we used TO pun
them out or we thought We did, but
by pulling on them we left the head In
the flesh. Later, when we had learned
to unscrew them, We got along better
with the woodticks, but the teas al
ways bothered us.
For other diversions there we had
more or less drilling. though | think
may truly say that we had by that
time come to be a pretty fine regl-
ment and then we had guard and
picket duty to do, and we had also a
good deal of fatigue duty, this includ-
ing at that particular time the build
ing of roads with stretches here and
there of corduroy laid through swamps
to make the roads secure enough to-
bear hauling over them heavy guns
and mortars.
"a good deal Of this labor was night
work, done in the dark in order as far
as possible to keep knowledge of 1t
from the enemy, the purpose of 1t all
being to lay siege to fort really the
property of Uncle Sam but just then
in possession of our Confederate breth-
ern.
$50 what with one thing and an
other we were abundantly and con-
stantly occupied and 1t was all very
novel and interesting. True 1t was
life that had it's drawbacks, but as
look out at that thermometer her now
and see it marking above zero and
then reflect back, why, it had also its
advantages, and one of these most GER
tainly was that there at least was
place where one could keep warm"
