The others agreed with him; and while they were discussing the advantages which it had given to the world, there was a call that sent them on deck at once. I don't suppose it matters in the least whether they are stupid “Great snakes!” cried Sandy, then lowering his voice. “How did that get there?” “Are there people as crazy as that? And going around, loose?” Chapter 23 "What'll we do now?" he called out to the others in his boyish treble. "I can't git these plugs out of a walk. If we go ahead the fire'll bust the ammunition, and send us all sky-huntin'. If we stop here them rebels 'll git us, sure." "Deer Si; ive jest red in the papers that the army's goin' 2 As Shorty ran around the corner he came face-to-face with a stalwart Irishman, one of the pluckiest of the squad brought from Jeffersonville. His face was drawn and white with fright, and he fumbled at his beads. "Confound it," said Si' wrathfully, as he looked into one after another. "Didn't none o' you have sense enough to fasten down the covers carefully, so's to keep the water out? Here it is—salt and sugar and coffee, bread and greasy pork all in one nasty mess.
