I had emptied my revolver and drawn mysaber, when he turned on me, just as Lieutenant Gasscame to my relief, which saved me from capture or per-haps a worse fate. This fight was in full progress whenCaptain McNeill came in hearing on his way from the cap-ture of our hay train near Burlington the same day. TheRinggold cavalry in this fight had two horses Adam Wickerhams horse Bully was shot. Corporal James Robinsons horsewas also shot. We returned to campwithout any hay for our horses asMcNeill had taken the train. When the Ringgold cavalrycharged at Purgitsville and we cameon the rear of the Confederates,where they were clogged in front,Lieutenant George Gass was in com-mand of our company, as Lieuten-ant Myers horse ran away with himand came near carrying him into theConfederate ranks. I will always remember TipWickerham of Company D. Tipcaptured a big, long haired fellow and was taking him tothe rear, when the fellow took Tip foul and they both. AT ROMNEY AGAIN 13& fell from their horses. The Confederate jumped tip andinto the brush and away. Tip, it will be remembered,had a stoppage in his speech. When he came to the rearhe could not talk at all.
