Our horses were greatly fagged. From our camp West Mount Barren bore S. 41 degrees W. June 30.
We reached H. at 10 p.m., almost as fagged and quite as dirty as that major. I had already learned something. I was determined not to report myself to any one until I had washed, slept, and eaten. It was snowing heavily when we arrived. With the help of a military policeman whom we met we found an hotel. He told us that it was a first-rate place; but he was no judge of hotels.
"Yes, I am am all right, but but pretty well fagged out," gasped Sam. "It was a close shave," said Captain Blossom. "And our guns are gone." "We had two dead goats, too," put in Tom.

At the end of an hour my head was in a perfect whirl and I was dead tired, fagged out.
