Of the detail from the 65th Coffin and two others stood their ground until the foremost of the herd was crossing the ford near at hand, large, threatening, trumpeting.
After a careful consideration of the experiences of our predecessors, it was decided to lay our course so that we should cross the 65th parallel in long. 175° E. What we had to do was to get as quickly as possible through the belt of pack-ice that blocked the way to Ross Sea to the south of it, which is always open in summer.
Immediately in rear of the guns were posted the 4th, the 27th, and the 65th. To the right hand was the 5th, to the left the 2d and the 33d. In all the men lay down in ranks, just sheltered by the final fringe of pines.
The shells fell short, and did harm only to the forest and its creatures. Nearly all fell short, but one, a shell from a thirty-pounder Parrott, entered the pine wood by Mitchell's Ford, fell among the wagons of the 65th, and exploded. A driver was killed, a mule mangled so that it must be shot, and an ambulance split into kindling wood. Few in the First Brigade had seen such a thing before.
It was a curious eclipse. The force of the man is such that, while his officers acknowledge the eclipse, it makes no difference to them. He is Stonewall Jackson and that suffices. But that is not what I have to tell " "I saw father a moment this morning. He said there was a rumour about one of the Stonewall regiments " "Yes. It was the 65th." "Cut to pieces?" "Yes."
A moment, and the infection had spread to the 27th; it, too, was cheering wildly. Apparently there were several couriers No! staff officers, the 65th saw the gold lace with some message or order from the commanding general, now well in advance with his guard of Black Horse. They were riding down the line Old Jack was with them the 4th and the 27th were cheering like mad.
The 65th Ohio was the right regiment of the four, and to the right rear of the 65th was a gap of a couple hundred yards extending out into cleared land, where the 42d Illinois was posted, refused as to the 65th and facing south to cover that flank.
He is neither like Cicero, nor like Demosthenes, nor like any one else, but speaks as well as he can. In the 65th page of the first volume of Sir George Mackenzie, Dr Johnson pointed out a paragraph beginning with 'Aristotle', and told me there was an error in the text, which he bade me try to discover. I was lucky enough to hit it at once.
Tom Scott, you beat the drum real loud, and James, you swing that flag so high the good Lord's got to see it! Here's the West P'inters here's the generals! Now, boys, just see how loud you can holler!" The 49th went into line upon Gartrell's right, who was upon Jackson's left. Beauregard paused to speak to that brigadier, advanced upon Little Sorrel in front of the 65th.
Well, we surely are glad to see you fellows in the flesh! Oh, we're going to halt. You halted, too? Regular love feast, by jiminy! Got any tobacco?" A particularly ragged private, having gained permission from his officer, came up to the sycamore beneath which his own colonel and the colonel of the 65th were exchanging courtesies. The former glanced his way. "Oh, Cary!
