I removed my thumbs, found that the haemorrhage was stopped, and then directed that he should be taken home on a door, and surgical assistance immediately sent for.

"Pray watch the tourniquet carefully as he is taken home, for should it slip it will be fatal." I then bowed to Mr Cotgrave, and, followed by Captain Atkinson, stepped into the hackney-coach and drove home.

Reginald Cotgrave said to John Fletcher in the hunting field one day.
His brother had begged him to put some rough-rider up till the horse could be got to go quietly, but Arthur had persevered.
