-plied camp, we struck the Chick
-ahominy swamp, and like a
piece of [lard?] into a bucket of wa
-ter, we went "kersplash" upto
our waists nearly into the
swamp. We moved forward, chang
-ing our course, so as to strike
the flank of a large force who
were making a strong resistance

retreated, and were followed up

deeper into the swamp, as well
as into the water, guarding &
supporting the right flanks
of our army Though we
were several times under fire
