A ahovel and a rifle, one standing, on either aide of me. both got smashed; so, you see, ; my star was In the as cendant. .! suppose yon would think a fellow could not sleep daring a shelling. He will sleep from sheer exhaustion. Of course, I am speaking of a steady ahelling, not a barrage fire, which is equal to hell on -earth.
