about five o'clock
There might be , and doubtless were , several attempts made this day to ascertain the position of the rebels . No crossing of that road now and trying the rebel left ! We went to the left of the field . It was about five o'clock . We reached the foot of a hill and saw a small creek ahead of us . I now felt that I must go forward alone . To make sure that I could find Jones again , I stationed him in the creek swamp near the corner of the field .
