"Bother!" said Norah, vexedly. "Silly man! I don't want him to give me presents and that wound of his ought certainly to have been looked after for a few days." "He said he was going to travel with Ram Das and old Ram'll see that he ties it up, I expect," said Jim, with unconcern. "I wouldn't bother, old first-aid; it looked tip-top when you dressed it before breakfast."
Seaton applied first-aid treatment to the ghastly wound in Shiro's head, which both men supposed to be certainly fatal, while Crane called a noted surgeon, asking him to come at once. He then telephoned the coroner, the police, and finally Prescott, with whom he held a long conversation.
Perkins and Johnnie settled down to a chapter treating of the prevention of accidents, first-aid, and lifesaving.
"There came a day when the regiment met the Prussians when the Frenchmen went over the top and the Germans came out to meet them. Jean was with his beloved companions, but, strange to say, he carried no rifle. One had been offered to him, but he shook his head. Instead, he carried several canteens of water and his blouse was stuffed with first-aid bandages.
Anyone who has hurriedly searched his sack for some particular bit of gear knows the sort of haystack which results, while if first-aid equipment, sealskins, spare bindings, emergency rations, mending outfit, etc., are all carried in separate, differently coloured bundles inside the sack, endless time is saved.
Now it was being hastily fitted up as a Red Cross hospital, and stretcher after stretcher of wounded both French and German were being brought in as we arrived. The confusion that reigned within was indescribable. There were some girls there who had attended first-aid lectures, and they were doing their best; but there were no trained nurses and no one particularly in command.
We therefore called at Aberdeen on the way and anchored off the first dock. The beautiful Seaman's Home there was on the wrong side of the harbour for the vessels, and was not offering exactly what was needed. So we obtained leave to put a hull in the basin, with a first-aid equipment, refreshments, lounge and writing-rooms, and with simple services on Sunday.
The Red Cross girl appeared from around a turn in the avenue, and the instant she spied her new friends she waved her gloved hand. "Is that the girl who gave first-aid to the man on Market Street Saturday night?" asked Chet. "Some little queen, isn't she?" rejoined Lance, with twinkling eyes. "Oh," said Laura placidly, "you needn't think that you can get us girls jealous about Janet Steele.
At last I could make out Kennedy dimly mounting the ladder. The weight was the unconscious body of Elaine which he steadied as he mounted. I tugged harder and he slowly came up. Together, at last, the policeman and I reached down and pulled them out. We placed Elaine on the cellar floor, as comfortably as was possible, and the policeman began his first-aid motions for resuscitation.
Colonel Hampton rose, putting his heel on the hypodermic and crushing it. "Of course she's dead!" he barked. "You have any first-aid training? Then look after these other people. Doctor Vehrner first; the other man's unconscious; he'll wait." "No; look after the other man first," Doctor Vehrner said. Albert gaped back and forth between them. "Goddammit, you heard me!" Colonel Hampton roared.
