d would collect, running and yelling What's Up? Some one of the crouchers would answer, Oh, got a new bug, and the crowd would laugh and disperse. Like everything else, this was soon an old story and buggy was immediately dispatched, given to the lieutenant for his collection, or allowed to fly or run away. One specimen, however, stuck and abided long. It was the common louse. On May 24, a dress parade was held at Lewis Farm, the first one since the regiment was before Yorktown. On May 25, Q. M. S. Nathaniel Prentiss, of Cambridge, worn out from the fatigues on the Peninsula, was found dead in his tent. He had been mustered in as a sergeant in Company F at Lynnfield and was very popular.

On the 27th the regiment left these works, under a fire of shells from the enemy, and moved in the direction of the Pamunky river.
