There, there, don't worry about its going up to the shoulder, Lieutenant. We'll save the arm, never fear." And then, without examining that arm at all, proceeded to rebandage the maimed hand and replace it in the supporting sling; and, afterward, went over and talked with Aunt Ruth before passing out and going round to his side of the divided house.
After this the thick tongue stumbled over some word like "Guadiva," and a little later he seemed in his troubled dreams to be struggling up a rugged height, for he complained of the stones which fretted his feet. Wilson managed to pour a spoonful of brandy down his throat and to rebandage the wound which had begun to bleed again.
"I've had a rather nasty accident, George," he said. "I've cut my hand pretty badly. Only not a soul must know about it you understand?" I nodded, and then at his request I assisted him to wash the wound and rebandage it. "What's been the matter?" I asked with curiosity. "Nothing very much," was his hard reply. "You'll probably know all about it to-morrow. The papers will be full of it.

Having drank, he proceeded to rebandage his master's wounds, first laying on them rolls of lint he took from his own saddlebag. "I never go on a campaign without lint and a bandage or two," he said.
The camp quieted down after a time. In one corner, Ruth had a shelter of rugs which had been brought up from the boat, and she retired to this after helping her father dress and rebandage Drew's foot. The captain, as so many skippers are, was a good amateur surgeon; and as far as he could discern there were no bones broken.
He marked the entrance of the bullet, and concluded that it had just touched the upper lobe of her lung. Perhaps the wound in the lung had also closed.

Without cutting down to the bone I cannot tell how badly it is splintered and, in the state of inflammation that it is now in, I could not venture upon that.
