egony it caused me I never canuone forget ; for what g ; with the
laceration of the wound, the tightness of the stitches, and
the intense heat of the sun, inflammation ensued, the
hand swelled, the stitches grew tighter, and the pain
greater, till at last I would have thanked either Lake or
Cortlandt, if, instead of nursing me, they had drawn a
sword and chopped the limb clean off. One day, too, a
sympathising friend, in the Indian navy, came in to see
me, and intending to seat himself on my bed, sat down on
my wounded band, which was stretched out on a pillow
by my side, and then asked me " How I did ?" At last
Dr. Cole arrived from Lahore, cut the stitches, and re_
lieved me of all pain in a moment ; though it was many
weeks before I could even put my hand in a sling ; and
in spite of all that sureical skill could do, I shall never
grasp a sword again. To a soldier this is a great loss. Oa
horseback, in subsequent engagements, I have felt quite
defenceless ; and though it seldom falls to a commander's
lot to be personally engaged, yet it may so happen at any
time; and it is not pleasant to know a certainty before-
and that you have no chance of escape.--A Year in th.
