A. Some little.
Q. How long after the command to fire was given do you discharge your piece?
A. If in position to fire, we generally pulled as quick as we could get it off.
Q. When this firing began, was it a volley, or was it a scattering fire?
A. It was kind of mixed, I thought. I did not think it was what I considered a volley from a number of men that were present.
Q. Was it a scattering fire that lasted some little time?
A. The firing was kept up. Scattering fire was kept up for three or four minutes.
Q. The first fire?
A. The first volley, though not what I consider a volley from the number of men that were present. It sounded more like a volley than a scattering fire—the first fire. After that it was a scattering fire.
Q. There appeared to be a number of simultaneous discharges of muskets?
