In t l.o spring of 1SG5 the arm
of the Confederacy was sadl
dwindling in numbers from loi
qope and want of provisions, n
well as from the desperate hare
ships to which they had for s
/mauv years been subjected. Man
seemed discouraged and the officer
undertook to make speeches t
keep up the spirits and keep aliv

Heoing, of Georgia, better know
as ''Old Itock," was one of th

reined up his horse, looked arounc
and frowned as if ho intended t<
order the man put under arrest,
when another aoldier called out:
"I think she i? getting rather wet."
The General smiled and rode on ?
