 given a glass of
milk, or a cup of beef tea, and in some instances the men volunteered
the statement that they were too weak to have marched to the hospital,
and could have gone no further but for this friendly help at the dock.

In the meantime, at the railway station, the men going on sick furlough
frequently collapsed just before the departure of the train, or became
faint through want of food. Here the Red Cross arranged that every sick
man should be supplied with milk, and, where it was necessary, given a
few ounces of whiskey, so as to enable him to continue his journey. The
increasing number of furloughed men required the establishment of an
emergency hospital near the railway station, and this was installed in
two tents erected for the Red Cross by the army officers.

These tents at times sheltered for the night as many as twenty sick men
who were unable to catch the train, and who would otherwise have been
obliged to sit up in the station until morning. This work, and the
emergency hospital, were under the charge of Miss Martha Draper.

Owing to the cheerful recognition given to the Red Cross, when the camp
was first opened, due to the courtesy of Major-General Young, the Red
Cross was able to enter into a far broader sphere of usefulness than
would otherwise have been possible. We are also particularly indebted to
Captain Chase, of the Third Cavalry, Captain Guilfoyle, of the Ninth
Cavalry, and Captain Fuller, of the First Cavalry, for their constant
endeavors to aid the representatives of the Red Cross in carrying out
their work of supplementing the efforts of the government, to relieve
the suffering and in ministering to the comfort of the men and officers
of the Fifth Army Corps.
