His comrades stripped him, and I found a gunshot wound in the hip, having passed right through, leaving two very ugly wounds.

I washed him also and left him.
I now returned to the tavern.

By this time the main body had returned, after having pillaged the village of Ridgeway, ransacking the principal stores, taverns, etc., and were now resting on a rising ground almost immediately opposite the tavern.

The green flag, on which was emblazoned a large golden harp, was floating to the breeze in their centre.

An officer, whom I soon found was their Adjutant, rode across to me and told me that two of our wounded men were lying on the road about fifty rods from us, nearer Ridgeway, a circumstance I was not before aware of.
Desiring that I should procure some assistance to have them removed from the sun's scorching influence, which at that time was very powerful, I told him I had not a man left but the wounded.
