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.
Third Corporal, Frank Ingalls.
The entire list of officers was now read and received with applause.

If there were some who were disappointed, they acquiesced good-naturedly, with one exception.
When the applause had subsided, John Haynes rose and, in a voice trembling with passion, said: "Mr.Chairman, I wish to give notice to all present that I resign my place as a member of this company.

I don't choose to serve under such officers as you have chosen to-day.

I don't think they are fit to have command." Here there was a general chorus of hisses, drowning John's voice completely.
