He is now stretched on his back upon one of the lowest slabs, where the atmosphere is coolest and the vapor least dense; a large wet sponge is put under his occiput for a pillow, and another sponge in a pail of cool water placed by his side with which he, or in case of too extreme debility his attendants, may from time to time bathe and cool the rest of his head.

Amos came out into the kitchen and got a drink at the water pail. "Doc got the bullet," said Amos. "Grazed the top of the lungs and came to the surface near the backbone.
