[from the diary of Francis G. Hale of the 34th Ohio Zouaves]
we got to gallipoliece
a bout 10 o clock AM
went on shore got
some hot coffee stash
armes felt pretty well
we do not know where
we will go to yet
the boys on the Arazona
had a big fight on deck
as they came up one
fellow got stuck
with a bayonet through
the cheeke and came
out in his mouth
one fellow got byoneted through the leg
we have got our
can teens a bout
half full of coffee to go on now
we left galipolis at dark
and went up the Ka
na wha we grounded
two or three times be
fore day light the boys
are all a fraid that
we will be attacted on
the boat some have
their guns loaded for
fear some body stole
Dan Stratons gun this
morning the officrers
of the boat have a
great time to keepe
the soldiers out of their
way this morning
some are drunk and keep runing roun all night
