When both turned at the top of the reach, Chesney gave up his fanciful swimming, and, to our alarm, settled down to a side-stroke, which for a time looked powerful and effective.

The army was again melting away, and only by urgent appeals were some veterans retained, and enough new men gathered to make a force of five thousand men.
