Forrest's wound had begun to mend, the soreness and swelling had left the knee joint, and the following morning Seay spent in making crutches.

By this time elastic Sharpe had recovered the first shock; and the order to crowd sail on the ship galled his pride and his manhood; he muttered, indignantly, "The white feather!" This eased his mind, and he obeyed orders briskly as ever.
Then the light again flashed, swept the ground for an instant and was as suddenly shut off, and the footsteps retreated. The boys eased their cramped positions. A minute passed.
