May 15, marched back to Lay's Ferry, and as soon as the enemy was driven from the crossing, my command was second to be ferried across the river, following the Second Iowa Infantry. In the skirmish to gain possession of the crossing, only Companies E and H were engaged, sustaining no loss. The crossing effected, my command was formed to the left of Second Iowa, that regiment being on the extreme right; Company B was immediately deployed and advanced to cover my front. In the engagement that took place soon after the crossing was effected the regiment was not engaged, and sustained no casualties.
