[from the diary of Francis G. Hale of the 34th Ohio Zouaves]

We left Camp Denison the 15
in the evening for Cin-
cinnati arived safe
but did not get there
till dark went all
over town marching
went down to the river
and got on the boat
for galapolieee run all
night till morning
runaground broke
the hog chain stopt at
Maysville Kentucky
stopt angot our chain
fixt a part of us had
to sleepe on the boiler
deck but slept very
well at least I did
got a negro cook with
us that is the funnyest
fellow I ever saw
he call crackers furllous
he says he eat 14 furlous
drank two cups of coffee
and only cost him one
dime
The boys seems
well pleased but cannot
get enough to eat
for we only fetch
some crackers & bread
with us the river is
all fog but is clearing
up now so we can see movin[?]
