ckets had heard a voice from the Virginia shore, calling: Send over an officer under a flag of truce to look after your dead and wounded. He reported this to Colonel Hinks and was himself detailed for the duty at 10 o'clock in the morning. Some fugitives had secured a skiff on the Virginia side and had reached the island, and in this skiff Lieut. Dodge was rowed across by private Carr of Company F, who volunteered for the duty. The lieutenant borrowed a white handkerchief from Adjutant John C. Chadwick (his own being black) and tied it to a ramrod. The little lieutenant, as he went over in the skiff on the important mission, was dressed in a pair of private's trousers, turned up at the bottom, a pair of old army shoes, a blouse with shoulder straps, sword and revolver. A dirty, ragged, gray blanket was thrown over his shoulders like a shawl and his glazed cap cover hid the bugle on the front of the cap. No real insignia of his rank appeared in sight. A fine wet drizzle ser

three inches long, sealed with wax at the corners, addressed to the commander of the regiment, marked O. B., which meant Official Business, and further marked Confidential. Woe to the officer or man who, with out authority broke one of the little seals. The Regulations provided for summary punishment in such a case, but this never occurred in the Nineteenth Massachusetts. One of the countersigns which has been preserved reads, Kansas, the parole Missouri. The day challenge is 22, the reply 112, made by motions of the flag. The night challenge is Red-White, the reply being White. （ This signal, not being used, became void, and is preserved by Captain Reynolds among his war souvenirs.) These colors designated by the outer wrapper on the signal cartridge, correspond with the instructions in the little folded cocked hat. Nearly all of these were countersigned Official, John C.

es of the Union guns. It was always interesting to notice the men of the army whenever a Rebel shell came their way. It was impossible to resist the inclination to dodge it, and the men could do this with better precision than drill,—all dodging together. They did not think at such times that the sound followed the missile, and if they were to be hit at all, it would be before they could have the opportunity of hearing it. During the stay of the regiment in front of Yorktown, Adjt. John C. Chadwick returned to it, having been relieved of his duties as Acting Assistant Adjutant General of Dana's Brigade, and First Lieut. Moncena Dunn, of Company D, returned from recruiting duty in Massachusetts, together with First Lieut. James H. Rice, of Company F. In Company C, Capt. J. Scott Todd resigned, and First Lieut. George W. Bachelder was made Captain, Second Lieut. J. G. C. Dodge, of Company F being made First Lieutenant and transferred to fill the vacancy. Capt. James D. Russel

fall, and orders come thick and fast, the sweat oozes from every pore. It is not fear, but uncertainty that so strains the nerves and makes men live days in every moment. Colonel Hinks says in his report: My regiment performed to my satisfaction, there being no exceptions to the general good behaviour of officers and men in the performance of the difficult and trying duties required of them. I may, however, without injustice to others, acknowledge my indebtedness to Major Howe and Adjutant Chadwick for their assistance and gallant bearing upon the field under the heaviest fire, and particularly commend the bravery of Corporal O'Rourke, of Company E, who gallantly siezed the color (the flag of our Commonwealth) when its bearer, Sergt. Samuel H. Smith, was shot down, and continued to bear it through the fight. Moses Short, of Company G, died of his wounds. He was shot in the corner of his mouth, the ball passing down the neck, over the shoulder, down the back and lodging in the

Herman Donath the colonel's orderly, rode up and informed him that guard mounting was about to be held, with music, and that he with Fifer John McCammon, (one of the best fifers in the army), were to report immediately to Adjt. Chadwick at guard mounting parade. The two musicians quitted the stream just as they were, only stopping to empty the water from their boots and wring out their shirts.

For the Assembly of the Guard they played Jefferson and Liberty, this being the first music heard in the camp of the Second Corps since the Battle of Fair Oaks. For the Inspection of the Guard they played Yankee Doodle, with variations. The music attracted the attention of the entire corps and everyone seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion.

the hundreds scampered off up the streets of the town. As the two companies of Michigan troops marched up Fauquier street, in a direct line with the bridge, they were immediately hotly engaged. The two boats bearing Companies K and C of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, with the National and the state colors (the first ones to be carried across) landed near those containing the two companies of the Seventh Michigan, and the men went forward to their assistance eagerly and swiftly. Capt. John C. Chadwick, of Company C was the first man of the Nineteenth to land. The next boat to touch the bank bore the colors of the Seventh Michigan, and, a few seconds later, the remainder of both regiments having crossed, they formed in line on the banks of the river, the left resting on Fauquier street, and advanced, deploying as skirmishers in order to drive the enemy back from the western part of the city. One can imagine with what interest the crossing of the first two boatloads was watche
