<h3>GETTING THE COMPANY COLUMN THROUGH "ENDWISE."</h3>
<p>Captain Lincoln was drilling his men, marching the twenty or so "by
the front," when he found himself before a gap in the fence through
which he wanted to go.</p>
<p>He says: "I could not for the life of me remember the proper words
of command--("By the right flank--file left--march.--Hardee's
Tactics")--for getting my company endwise so that it could get
through the gateway; as we came near the passage, I shouted:</p>
<p>"'Company, halt! break ranks! you are dismissed for two minutes, when
you will fall in again on the other side of the gap!'"
