Of 89 commissioned officers, 63 were killed or wounded; not a solitary field-officer escaping unhurt.

At the same place it was stated that GC was found to be 98,779 parts. And since the angle LCD is 45 degrees 20 minutes, being equal to GCS, the side LD is found to be 100,486: whence deducting ML 11,609 there will remain MD 88,877. Lemma which has been supposed.
And as dawn now revealed the gray country to him, his eye fell casually upon a mile-post: "Omaha, 876." He began to watch for them: 877, 878. But the trunk would really get to Omaha.
