We received orders to disembark in the morning and everybody
is rejoicing, for it is getting very tiresome on the boats — we have been on
the boats seven days now. Details of men worked nearly all day at unloading our
commissariat. The landing place is nothing but a jelly of mud — there are so
many mules, horses and men passing back and forth.
