er both received flesh wounds, as already stated, from the effects of which they soon recovered and rejoined the Company in a few months. Benjamin G. Hooper received a flesh wound in the forearm, the bullet first having passed through the breast of his blouse, and through several letters in the breast-pocket. William H. Starkweather was shot above the hip, the bullet passing in under the backbone. He was a cannoneer on the Second piece, and returned to duty in a few months. Corp. Burnham C.

But we resolve to take him with us or remain with him, and proceed to place him on a blanket. As we attempt to carry him it causes him such intense suffering that we desist and cast about for a stretcher. We find one standing by the ro
