Second Lieutenant Harlan J. Swift, of Company H, a medal winner in this affair, relates: "Of course it was hot work, but was in no way a surprise, because our entire line had been waiting long for just such an experience. We reached the objective point in short order, to see the enemy going pell-mell toward their second line of defense, a considerable distance away on the Jerusalem plank road. As we reached the top of the first line I could see several Confederates not far off, and, calling my company to halt, I sprinted on after the fugitives. I was very good on my feet and soon overhauled four of the men who, with guns loaded and bayonets fixed, had given me such a stubborn chase. “Placing the muzzle of my revolver against the temple of one of the 'Johnnies' while still running, I ordered the four to surrender, which they did instantly, fancying, I suppose, that I had my whole company at my back. Then I formed them on either side and in front of me — as a protection against possible shots from their more speedy companions — and so marched them back to our line.” .Syke, James S., x, Trumansburgh, 157 Syme, Charles, 79th Highlanders, Scotia, 631 SYME, CHARLES.— Enrolled at New York city, to serve three years, and mustered in as sergeant, Co.
