On the right by file into line rang out from Colonel Chamberlin, and the line officers and swang into line faceing to the front and over Little Round Top.
Orders wer given to Lieut Morrell comanding Co. B. to advance and deploy as skirmishers. No sooner said than done and out went Co. B to the front and left to protect our flank and was soon out of sight in the woods.
We had not been in posision more than fifteen minutes when the skirmishers on our right front was forced back into the ranks and the enemy advanced close after them. When the enemy's line hove in sight they were at short rang and we opened fire on them and they replied with grate fury; There was a dreadful roar for a time when the rebs came round on our left so that the left of our regt had to form a few rods to the rear to prevent a cross fire from the enemy.
