midnight
Harry heard him utter then his first and only groan . The boy himself cried out in horror . But they lifted him up again , and the litter bearers carried him on , the young officers crowded close around him . Although it was far on toward midnight , the roar of the battle swelled afresh through the Wilderness . They came presently to an ambulance , by the side of which Jackson 's physician , Dr. McGuire , stood . The surgeon , tears in his eyes , bent over the general and asked him if he were badly hurt . Jackson replied that he thought he was dying .
