"Dash it all!" he soliloquised. "Hope I'm not going to faint or do something silly." He bent forward until his head rested on his knees. In a few minutes the feeling of vertigo passed. A draught from his water-bottle had the effect of temporarily quenching the burning pain that gripped his throat. "Not so bad with the use of one arm only," he muttered complaisantly.
