Gouldin's Caroline company, which is stationed at the Point. Young Sthreshly was armed with a Sharpe's rifle, and was a little nearer to the Freeborn than the main body of soldiers.

Ward stood on the gallows frame directing the fire, which was excellen firing, so as not to hit our own men, when on their reappearance Capt.
