Frogs abound in this grass, and crickets come out of holes in the ground, and make a terrible whistling at night. For some time ...

Where the numbers were so vast as to cover the whole country, that was needless. They marched in columns, and the columns that chanced to come up to the point voluntarily and promptly undertook the duty. They swarmed into the ditch.
