A SIKH SAMARITAN.—Among the officers of her Ma-
jesty's 913 Foot severely wounded at Feroze-hah, and
who subsequently died, was a Mr. S—. There is a
story connected with his wound, poor fellow, which, if
tray, as I believe it to be, is quite romantic. He was
wout.ded in the leg on the evening of the 21st, and while
lying on the pound alone, his regiment having gone on
to the attack, a Sikh came up to him and said, " Sahib,
my people are killing all the wounded, and if you remain
here you will be killed too ; but c one with me and I will
save you." S-- replied, " How can I come with you ?
my leg is broken, and I cannot even stand." "Oh ! "
said the man, " I will take you on my back." which was
accordingly done; and off he set with him in the direc-
tion of Ferozepore. After going for a considerable dis-
tance, when they were quite out of reach of the enemy,
he stopped to rest and wait for daylight, paying every
attention that circumstances would admit of to his

charge's comfort. As the day broke, a party of our ca-
valry came up, on their way from Ferozepore to the field,
and the officer with them stopped to see if he could do
