More than one of our party cried out in anger because the captain displayed too much caution according to their ideas; but the cooler-headed, among whom was Sergeant Corney, declared that it would be the height of folly for us to throw ourselves upon at least a thousand men when no great good could come from such a venture, and much of disaster to the Cause might result.
But I was not, and I bade him go on with the rest. We were almost across the camp at this time. "Take my horse rather," he said. "See, there is a bit of a stand being made yonder." There were yet some valiant and cooler-headed Welshmen whom the panic had not carried away, and they were getting together to our right.
