The messengers riding from one force to the other were either stopped by the Federals, or were compelled to make long detours; and as they approached the enemy's position, neither Hill nor Jackson was informed of the whereabouts of the other. The truth is, that the arrangements made by the Confederate headquarter staff were most inadequate.
Neville's fervent embrace to burst out into a sob or two. In another minute they were in the cart, and Mouti was scrambling up behind. "Don't cry, old girl," said John, laying his hand upon her shoulder. "What can't be cured must be endured." "Yes, John," she answered, and dried her tears. At the headquarter camp John went in and explained the circumstances of his departure.
The Relief was carried out without interference from the enemy except for Battalion Headquarter Officers, who had to leave Loisne Chateau at the gallop. Salvoes of whizz-bangs were arriving at frequent intervals, and there was just time to mount and gallop 300 yards down the road between the bursts.
Our ship, the "Franconia," the flagship of the fleet, had the headquarter staff, the 90th Regiment of Winnipeg, and a number of nurses on board, and she held place in the centre of the middle line. How an orderly fleet could be immediately dis-organized was well demonstrated one morning when our whistle blew sharply several times "Man Overboard."
McKay, of the headquarter staff. A man whom the Russians took, and whom we have just recovered." "McKay!" cried the aide-de-camp, joyfully. "Where is he?" Our hero was speedily surrounded by a group of sympathetic friends, to whom he gave a short account of himself. Then he briefly explained to the general the position in which they were. "It is as I thought," said the general.
Otherwise the republicans had complete control of the city: the police were confined to barracks, civilians were on all sides at the mercy of a perfectly organized and armed body of revolutionaries all in touch with a headquarter staff, and the military, somewhere beyond the outskirts of the city, were nobody knew exactly where, and the whole population on all sides hushed in expectation of the inevitable battle.
Completing his round with a visit to Baudette's headquarter camp, he inspected train loads of pulp wood ready for the mills. The areas originally secured were nearly denuded and Baudette was forced further afield.
I obtained many scenes during the day of His Majesty visiting, in company with General Sir Douglas Haig, various headquarter offices, where he studied in detail the general position of the armies. I noticed that Sir Douglas did not look upon my camera very kindly. He was rather shy of the machine, though latterly he has looked with a more sympathetic eye upon it.
To this the Boer demurred, but finally, after going to the gate to consult his companion, he consented and the two rode back to the headquarter camp, saying that they would wait for the cart there, whereupon the horses were inspanned. In five minutes everything was ready, and the cart was standing on the roadway in front of the little gate.
So far, so good; so very good indeed that Hooker and his staff were as nearly free from care on May Day as headquarter men can ever be in the midst of vital operations. Hooker had just reason to be proud of the Army of the Potomac and of his own work in reviving it. He had, indeed, issued one bombastic order of the day in which he called it "the finest on the planet."
