those who needed them most. A man tried on the
hat, leggings, and shoes of his late comrade as he
lay on the ground, and kept them if a fit, or if not,
passed them to his neighbor ; for in the field it is
so difficult to get clothing of any kind, that the
Mambis cannot afford to lose through sentiment.
From our point of view, the day was a victory ;
Dressing General Vega's wound.
because two columns, acting in combination, had
chased us as a brace of hounds chases a hare, and
failed to bag us all. Yet our loss — twenty
wounded and three killed outright, nearly all on the
open hillside where the impedimenta came under fire
— was far greater than usual in such skirmishes.
My man, Eusebio, was among the missing, and I
never saw him afterwards. He carried my only
bottle of ink, too, which was no small loss. Alfredo
from that day did double work.
