Officers have wondered to see a whole company of them, at the close of a long practice march, made with heavy baggage, chasing a rabbit which some one may have started.

They will run for several hundred yards whooping and yelling and laughing, and come back to camp feeling as if they had had lots of fun, the white soldier, even if not tired, would never see any joke in rushing after a rabbit.

To the colored man the diversion is a delight.
In caring for the sick, the Negro's tenderheartedness is conspicuous.
On one of the transports loaded with sick men a white soldier asked to be helped to his bunk below.

No one of his color stirred, but two Negro convalescents at once went to his assistance.

When volunteers were called for to cook for the sick, only Negroes responded.
