We stopped at headquarters, and I went in to report.
"Is the adjutant in?" I asked of an officer who was writing.
"I am the adjutant, sir," he answered, without looking up.
"I have come to report myself as arriving at this post."
"What name, sir?"
I gave my name. The adjutant looked up, and with some surprise, said:
"Why, you are reported killed, sir; two of your men saw you lying dead under your horse!"
"How many of my men have come in?"
"About half; they are at the Provost Marshal's."
"Any officers?"
