The Daily Dispatch: June 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], A gun fired by the enemy's shot. (search)
A gun fired by the enemy's shot. --Capt. Casper W. Hunt, of the Walker (Tennessee) Legion, present at the attacks on the batteries at Aquia Creek, a few weeks ago, narrates the following as one of the hundred hair-breadth escapes of the Confederate forces on that occasion: "One man was lying sick in a house near battery No. 1 when the firing commenced; he seized his musket and ran out of doors with it in his hand; at that moment a shell exploded over his head, and a fragment of the shell striking the hammer of his gun, fired it off, not injuring him in the least."--Fred Herald.
