He's broke every Article o' War in the whole book. My, what will I do?" He slipped down and communicated his information to the anxiously-expectant comrades of Co. "It mayn't be as bad as we expect," the Orderly-Sergeant tried to console them. "The bite of most of them regulations and charges and specifications ain't never near as bad as their bark.
One night the tent in which she and her husband were sleeping caught fire, and had it not been for the prompt and gallant conduct of an orderly-sergeant, who at great personal risk dragged them out, they would have been suffocated or burnt to death. As it was, Major Acland was severely burnt, and all their personal belongings were lost.
"Fall in, Co. Q," shouted the Orderly-Sergeant. "Fall in promptly." Everybody made a rush for his gun and equipments. "Hurry up. Orderly," said Capt. McGillicuddy, coming up with his sword and belt in hand. "Let the boys take what rations they can lay their hands on, but not stop to cook any. We've got to go on the jump." All was rush and hurry.
Therefore, the Orderly-Sergeant didn't tell the boys what ailed the teamster. The fact was that the heels of the "off=wheeler" caught the teamster in the pit of the stomach and doubled him up so badly that he wouldn't be fit for duty for a week. It was worse than the green-corn colic. "'Tisn't every man," continued the Orderly, "that's gifted with fust-class talent fur drivin' team.
It is perfectly clear, even to my darkened mind, that you have some plan for Hilda fully matured and arranged in that scheming little head of yours; so what is your object in keeping me longer in suspense?

The Orderly-Sergeant looked down the line, and called out: "Here, Corp'l Klegg, you're not fit to go. Neither are you, Shorty. Step out, both of you." "Yes, I'm all right," said Shorty. "Feet's got well. I kin outwalk a Wea Injun."
While the 200th Ind. was getting ready to fall in, the sick-call sounded, and the Orderly-Sergeant remarked to Si: "Fall into this squad, Corporal Klegg." "What for?" asked Si, looking askance at the squad. "To go to the Surgeon's tent," answered the Orderly-Sergeant. "This is the sick squad." "That's what I thought," answered Si; "an' that's the reason I ain't goin' to join it."
"DETAIL for guard to-morrow," sang out the Orderly-Sergeant, after he had finished the evening roll-call: "Bailey, Belcher, Doolittle, Elliott, Fracker, Gleason, Hendricks, Hummerson. Long, Mansur, Nolan, Thompson." "Corp'l Klegg, you will act as Sergeant of the Guard. "Dan Elliott will act as Corporal of the Guard."
Bowersox changed to the defense, the Orderly-Sergeant testified with great alacrity that he had not seen Shorty take a drink, that he did not know where he could have got whisky; did not know where in all that part of Georgia there was a drop of liquor outside of the Surgeon's stores and the officers' canteens; that he wished he did know, for he'd like to have a drink himself; and that Shorty, when he was putting forth his greatest strength, was generally very vociferous and not at all careful of what he said.
