Numerous whales and penguins were now seen swimming about the vessels, whilst white petrels continually flew across them. On the 21st observations gave S. lat. 62 degrees 53 minutes, and D'Urville was expecting soon to reach the 65th parallel, when at three a.m. he was told that further progress was arrested by an iceberg, across which it did not seem possible to cut a passage.
"The world, sir, is as God made it and as Satan darkened it." Cary regarded him somewhat whimsically. "Well, we'll agree on God now, and perhaps before this struggle's over, we'll agree on Satan. That firing's growing louder, I think. There's a cousin of mine in the 65th yonder by the colours! May I speak to him?" "Certainly, sir. I have noticed Captain Cleave. His men obey him with readiness."
They were out now upon another high field, carpeted with yellowing sedge, dotted over with young pines. The 65th headed the column. Lieutenant Coffin of Company A was a busy officer, active as a jumping-jack, half liked and half distasted by the men.
"DEAR AUNT SAIRY AND TOM: It's fine to get back to the Army! It's an Army that you can love. I do love it. But I love Thunder Run and the School House and Tom and Sairy Cole, too, and sometimes I miss them dreadfully! I rejoined at Leesburg. The 65th I can't speak of the 65th you know why. It breaks my heart. But it's reorganized. The boys were glad to see me, and I was glad to see them.
The square moved on until well in rear of the enemy's position, and then marched straight towards it. Owing to this change in the direction of its march the left flank of the square now became its front, and it was the 65th with the Naval Brigade on one flank and the Royal Highlanders on the other, who were nearest to the enemy.
They were moving all night, and the first thing I heard this morning was the bugle in the direction of Quincy, and the news came at breakfast time that the 65th Regiment the last of the big fighting regiments to go into action at Verdun, and the last to leave, was marching in. The girl from the butcher's brought the news, and "Oh, madame," she added, "the Americans are with them." "The what?"
Their junction was unmade, Stonewall Jackson and his army passing between the upper and the nether millstone which should have joined to crush. The stars began to pale, the east to redden. Faintly, faintly the swell and roll of the earth gathered colour. A cock crew from some distant farmhouse. The Stonewall swung on, the 65th leading, its colonel, Richard Cleave, at its head.
He was gone the other staff officers were gone Old Jack was gone. They passed the shouting 65th, and presently from down the line came the cheers of the 2d, 21st, and 33d Virginia. Old Jack rode back alone the length of his brigade; and so overflowing was the enthusiasm of the men that they cheered him, cheered lustily! He touched his old forage cap, went stiffly by upon Little Sorrel.
Squad by squad swung itself up to the cindery roof and sat there in rows, feet over the edge, the central space between heaped with haversacks and muskets. "2d 4th 5th 65th Jerusalem! the whole brigade's going on this train! Another's coming right behind why don't they wait for it? Crowding gentlemen in this inconsiderate fashion! Oh, ain't it hot?
The Groveton Wood, and the Railroad cut at Manassas Where you threw stones when your cartridges were gone, where you struck with the bayonet, And the General spoke to you then, 'Steady, men, steady! Remember Chantilly, remember Loudoun and Maryland Heights. Harper's Ferry was yesterday. Remember and strike them again! Come on, 65th! Come on, the Stonewall!"
