be captured, killed or put to flight
Gen. Oates called for fifty volunteers
to engage in dangerous expedition
The full quota was soon secured, but
no officer volunteered his services
and Gen. Oates commanded the eX-
pedition in person. They secured
canoes, and after night silenly float
ed down the river to the island.
They concluded that inasmuch as
the Yankees felt safe in their re-
treat, that no pickets were out 1t
was agreed to quietly ascend the
bank, enter the farm and reconnoi-
ter the enemy's strength. Two or
three scouts went up the bank a lit
tie in advance of the main body Of
the eXpeditionary force. Just as the
first OF these parted the cane on
the outskirts of the island a picket,
placed conveniently by the Yanks,
poked his gun through the brush and
blazed away. The shot passed over
the head of the Confederate scout,
doing no damage. The shot, how
ever, was a signal for line of pick
cts ali around the island to get
busy. Volley after volley was pour
ed in the direction of the invaders.
The latter ran helter SHELTER back
to their canoes, and beat a hasty re-
treat. Some of the more panicky
members of the party jumped into
the river and swan for it. Bullets
fell all around them, chugged the
water. but nobody was hurt. Strag
lers from this expedition We're a
couple of days getting back to camp.
They made an effort to keep the
farce secret, but it leaked out,
and was the joke of the campaign.
While the war game has its dan
gers and it's hardships, it also has
its pleasures and its humors. 1t is
god entertainment to listen to Il
couple of Old soldiers, who have the
eye to the ridiculous side of things,
relate experiences around Chatta-
nooga. Many good stories have new
er found their way into print. Dur
ing all the fighting around Chat
tanooga, private soldiers of both ar
mics kept their eyes skinned for
trouble The rattle of a bush has
been known to strike a panic to
follow who may have been prdwling
around on the hunt for something to
eat. Soldiers have been frightened
half to death by men of their own
uniform. This panic, however, van
ishes on the firing line. Men in
battle have but little regard for the
of danger They will charge
the mouths of cannon when in bat
tie, and run from a sheep, if they
don't know what it is, when out for
aging.
