A high wind prevailed
this morning and the sea was somewhat rough; the boat had considerable motion,
but the boys had their sea legs on, so it caused them very little trouble.
HIGH LIVING.
Our company cooks, with
commendable enterprise and industry and with an eye to our present well being,
furnished us with baked beans and hot coffee for breakfast. This was a great
treat, and every man had all he wanted; a vote of thanks was given the cooks.
For dinner boiled beef was served, the first we have had since leaving Fortress
Monroe.
I hope this kind of fare
will hold out, but fear we shall have a relapse of the worst kind. The chaplain
held services in the saloon this morning and afternoon. The boys spent most of
the day writing letters, reading newspapers and making up their diaries.
