The men all turned out of the enclosure and are being
squadded over. A very stormy and cold day; called out before breakfast and
nearly dark before again sent inside Very muddy and the men have suffered
terribly, stand up all day in the cold drizzling rain, with no chance for
exercise and many barefooted. I counted nine or ten who went out in the morning
not able to get back at night; three of the number being dead.
