the rn inkerman kerman the tha pickets and men on outlying posts were thoroughly I 1 saturated and their arms were wet despite de 0 p ite their t hy ir precautions and it it is scarcely to be wondered at if there were some of them who were not quite as alert as sentries should be in ill face of an enemy for it must be remembered that our cur small army is almost worn out by it its s incessant labors and that men on picket are frequently men who wiio have llave had llad but a short re spites respite from irom work in the trench trenches ps or from regimental c aties the fog and vapors of
