A. I think he did, short of ammunition and short of provisions.
Q. Do you recollect what he said about it?
A. No, sir; I do not, because it is all written down, and I had the report.
Q. Are all the dispatches that you read or saw, as coming from General Brinton that night, published in the Adjutant General's report?
A. I think they are. There may be some more that I did not see. I read it over, and found it pretty near as I knew. I tried my best to get provisions to him, and I delivered ammunition—four boxes—to somebody, to take out to some other station to some other troops.
Q. Torrens station?
A. Torrens station, I think it was. I recollect going down in the cellar of the hotel and getting them out; it was pretty hard work for some one or two people, besides myself, to lift them up. The elevator was stopped.
Q. You were the commissary of General Brinton's staff?
A. Yes, sir; I am regular commissary of the First division—General Brinton's division.
Q. And as such were in consultation with the general during the night?
