I had not long joined, and was about as raw a young gentleman as you could see; the only very clear ideas in my head being that we were monstrous fine fellows in the 50th, and that the planters' daughters were deplorably in love with us. Not that I was much wrong on either side. For brandy-and-water, sangaree, Manilla cigars, and the ladies of color, I'd have backed the corps against the service.
But a little reflection will make it clear that, at the 50th vibration, the two forks condensation where the other tends to produce a rarefaction; by the united action of the two forks, therefore, the sound is quenched, and we have a pause of silence. This occurs where one fork has gained half a wavelength upon the other.
As to its limits and extent, we have already had occasion to quote his language in impressing upon Francis the great length of the voyage; giving both at the same time: "In the voyage," he says, "which we made by order of your majesty, in addition to the 92 degrees which we ran towards the west from our point of departure, before we reached land in latitude 34, we have to count 300 leagues which we ran northeastwardly and 400 nearly east, along the coast, before we reached the 50th parallel of north latitude, the point where we turned our course from the shore towards home."
"Aw, as if I had to tell you. I got some sense left." Suddenly his sallow visage under the iron helmet became distorted with helpless fury; he fairly snarled; his thin lips writhed as he spat out the suspicion which had seized him: "By God, Doc, if you do that! if you leave me here caged up an’ go home an’ raise hell in the 50th with me an’ Joe here "
Sir Robert Dick, who had commanded the 42nd Highlanders in Spain, was among the slain, as was Brigadier Taylor, C.B., the beloved colonel of the 29th Regiment, who commanded the third brigade of the second division. The 3rd, 9th, and 16th Light Dragoons, 9th, 10th, 29th, 31st, 50th, 53rd, 62nd, and 80th Foot, received the thanks of Parliament, and have "Sobraon" on their colours.
During this visit I first met some Canadian officers who were looking over the line before taking it over from the 50th Division. On March 27 we were relieved and I went back with A Company to some dugouts near Bedford House. Our first day there we were shelled out of these dugouts and had to take refuge for a time in Bedford House.
Funeral at 2 o'clock sharp. There is something very simple and pleasant about the following, which, in Philadelphia, seems to be the usual form for consumptives of long standing. On the 29th inst., of consumption, Philip Bromley, in the 50th year of his age. Affliction sore long time he bore, Physicians were in vain Till God at last did hear him mourn, And eased him of his pain.
The ground round the village was broken by stone walls and hollow roads, but the French were forced back, and the 50th, entering the village with the fleeing enemy, drove them, after a struggle, beyond the houses.
There is the Song of Moses, the Canticle of Zachary, the Miserere which is the 50th Psalm you read and chant regularly in your church the Lord's Prayer in silence; and then all is darkness and distress what the Church was when our Lord suffered, what the whole world is now except His Church." "If you will permit me," said Lothair, "I will accompany you to the Tenebrae."
A soldier had turned toward me, both hands still grasping his resting rifle. In the "horizon blue" uniform and ugly, iron, shrapnel-proof helmet strapped to his bullet head I failed to recognize him. "It’s me, ’Duck’ Werner," he said, as I stood hesitating.... You know who he is, political leader in the 50th Ward, here. I was astounded. "What do you know about it?" he added.
