His speech was modest, and made a
favorable impression, as was shown by the noisy stamping of feet
and shouts of "Bully for you, Dick!" "You're a trump!" and other
terms in which boys are wont to signify their approbation.
Through all this John Haynes looked very much disgusted, and
seemed half-decided upon leaving the room. He had some curiosity,
however, to learn who would be elected to the subordinate
offices, and so remained. He had come into the room with the
determination not to accept anything below a lieutenancy, but now
made up his mind not to reject the post of orderly sergeant if it
should be offered to him. The following list of officers, however
will show that he was allowed no choice in the matter:
Captain, Frank Frost.
First Lieutenant, Charles Reynolds.
Second Lieutenant, Richard Bumstead.
Orderly Sergeant, Wilbur Summerfield.
Second Sergeant, Robert Ingalls.
Third Sergeant, Moses Rogers.
First Corporal, Tom Wheeler.
Second Corporal, Joseph Barry.
