"Think there's a doctor on this little old steamer?" demanded Bean. The man from Hartford laid down his weapon and began to lave his face. "I believe," he spluttered, "that medical attendance is provided for those still in mortal error." "'S'at so?" demanded Bean, sullenly.
The Union army, which took no part in this great attack, was over five thousand strong, and lost only seven men in the land bombardment later on.
