"The general has been sending his ambulance" Bless these ambulances! they are as common in Virginia as hen-nest grass or clumps of sassafras "to the dépôt every morning for three or four days for you." "The deuce he has! Then why didn't he let me know by letter, as I asked him to do?" "Can't say, really."
The advanced dressing station is merely an advanced party from the field ambulance which itself is divided into three sections, each of which may operate independently according to the nature of the country. Each ambulance is self-contained, having its own transport, and by using tents can work in an area which has no houses or other shelter.
In spite of all these orders, instructions, and suggestions, and in defiance of the advice and warnings of all competent authorities, General Shafter's army sailed from Tampa without its reserve medical supplies and ambulance corps, and, having landed on the Cuban coast, marched into the interior without wall-tents, without hammocks, without a change of clothing, and without a single utensil larger than a coffee-cup in which to boil water.
And when the ambulance came and they put her on a stretcher, they made me go in the kitchen so that she shouldn't know I was there." While I dressed for Stroeve wished me to go at once with him to the hospital he told me that he had arranged for his wife to have a private room, so that she might at least be spared the sordid promiscuity of a ward.
Were the officers as clever as their soldiers are brave, the English would be irresistible." As this seemed a difficult subject to discuss, Uncle John asked the orderly if he knew of a good chauffeur to drive their ambulance an able, careful man who might be depended upon in emergencies.

"The time for talking is past," was the reply. "This is the time for segregation. Doctor Masters, don't forget that ambulance when you're quit of the load." So the procession, led by the board-of-heath doctor and the sergeant, and brought up in the rear by the policemen with their protectively extended clubs, started through the doorway.
Harry and Dalton might have followed the ambulance that carried Jackson away, as they were members of his staff, but they felt that their place was on this dusky battlefield. While they paused, not knowing what to do, a body of men came through the brushwood and they recognized the upright and martial figures of Colonel Leonidas Talbot and Lieutenant-Colonel Hector St. Hilaire.
It may, however, be said in view of our present industrial conditions, and the low standard of physical health and vitality prevailing among the young folk of our large towns that physical drill and scout training, including ambulance and other work, and qualification in some useful trade, might very well be made a part of our general educational system, for rich and poor alike, say, between the ages of sixteen and eighteen.
There was light enough under the ambulance roof for her to see the speaker creep down from the swinging stretcher. He moved very carefully, but his bandages were evidently camouflage. The jouncing of the automobile made her uncomfortable. Charlie Bragg was driving at his usual reckless pace. Ruth did not even laugh over the surprise of Helen and Jennie at her departure.
She did not mention the Fever Hospital, probably judging it better not to prepare the patient beforehand, but to wait until the ambulance arrived. Diana, of course, knew why she was collecting the garments, but feigned to ignore the matter, and made no comment. She wished Miss Todd would be quick and go.
