And among the searchers was the faithful Bob, looking for his Old Captain, Crittenden, his honest heart nigh to bursting, for already he had found Raincrow torn with a shell and he had borne a body back to the horror-haunted little hospital under the creek bank at the Bloody Ford a body from which the head hung over his shoulder limp, with a bullet-hole through the neck the body of his Young Captain, Basil.
Keep wild beasts from killing us in our sleep, and give us good hearts that we may not kill them in anger." His finger twisted involuntarily into the bullet-hole in the pelt, and he paused a moment. "Keep us from getting lost, O gracious Saviour." Again there was a pause, his eyes opened wide, and he said: "Do you think mother's lost, father?"
He handed it to the gentleman whose guests we were, and to whom the rifle belonged which had been placed in our howdah, and then modestly withdrew from the circle. "There isn't another rifle in camp that carries so small a bullet," said our host, holding up the ball, "and there can't be the least doubt that the Hindu is the man who killed him." Not another bullet-hole was to be found.
The next day one of our riders, a Mexican, rode into camp with a bullet-hole through him from the left to the right side, having been shot by Indians while coming down Edwards Creek, in the Quaking Aspen Bottom. He was tenderly cared for but died before surgical aid could reach him. As I was the lightest man at the station, I was ordered to take the Mexican's place on the route.
In addition to a bayonet-thrust on the neck, it had also a bullet-hole on the left hind flank, and it was from this wound that the blood was principally streaming.

Sarved in the Queen's Navy, I have, where yeou'm taught to use your eyes. Yeou go 'tend your own business, Lena." "Do 'ee mean what you'm been tellin' us?" said Oke. "Ask me no questions, I'll give 'ee no lies. Bullet-hole clane thru from side to side, an' tu heart-ribs broke like withies. I seed un when I turned un ovver.
But what with Mame missing the poncho out of our shop and the wound in my hand I guessed they'd all soon suspect me. I saw you did. So I thought I'd just confess to what I meant to do, even if I didn't do it." Ranson surveyed his father-in-law with a delighted grin. "How did you get that bullet-hole in your hand?" he asked. Cahill laughed shamefacedly. "I hate to tell you that," he said.
Moreover, in the exact centre of this Bible was a bullet-hole, or rather a bullet which had passed through the stout cover and buried itself in the paper behind. As for Sammy himself, he seemed to be quite uninjured, and indeed after we had poured some water on him he was never fond of water he revived quickly enough. Then we found out what had happened.
There were three wounds on the body the bullet-hole in the forehead, a fleshy wound on the hind leg, and a hit on the spine, which had disabled it just as it was in the act of springing down upon the roof. "It's your bag," said Compton. "To think that we stood shivering and shaking for two mortal hours, while all the time the beggar was helpless!"
