down and all the equipment cleaned.
Il was a regular wash day for the
members Of the company
Company b. of Milford, also had
wash day. The clothing, bed sacks
and other equipment of the men were

TO dry. Favored by a strong sun and
a river breeze, the wash was soon
dried.
AT intervals the members of each
company are led TO the river by their
commanders, and forced to jump in
for a general cleanup. This is en-
loved by all the men, and almost
every day they enjoy a voluntary
dip" in the water. Sunburn in camp
