They scraped round it, digging with their hands; it came up wearing a crust of powdered lime. A pad and a bandage. They couldn't do anything more for that ... The third man, with the fractured shin-bone and the big flesh-wound in his thigh, must have splints and a dressing. She wondered how John would set about his work. But his queer, hypnotised actions were effectual and clean.
Presently the foretopmast went by the board also, as the long moments dragged along, Seymour was now lying on the quarter-deck, a bullet having broken his leg, another having made a flesh-wound in his arm; he had refused to go below to have his wounds dressed, and one of the midshipmen was kneeling by his side, applying such unskilful bandages as he might to the two bleeding wounds.
Nelson, who did not arrive upon the field until the day was about lost, and only in time to use his sword against his own men in a fruitless endeavor to rally them, received a flesh-wound, and hastened back the same night to Cincinnati, leaving many dead and wounded on the field, and thousands of our brave boys prisoners to be paroled by the Rebels.
His friend Campe had been previously advised of "my marriage with the lovely and honest creature who has lived by my side for years as Mathilde Heine; was always respected and looked upon as my wife, and was defiled by foul names only by some scandal-loving Germans of the Frankfort clique." Heine's duel resulted in nothing more serious than a flesh-wound on the hip.
But I am grieved to hear of your affray with the native. I hope that life will not be sacrificed." "No fear of that; the rascal got only a flesh-wound."

"I think, I hope he is safe," he said, looking very white. "How safe?" I asked; "tell me all, Mr Popham, if you please." "I will," he answered; "it is a flesh-wound in the shoulder, nothing of consequence, on my honour; he bade me tell you so, with his love." "Am I to understand that you have left Mr Englefield wounded?"
He next turned to Fritz, who had received a severe flesh-wound on the shoulder. When both wounds were bandaged, he left the care of the young men to Willis, who had escaped with a few scratches, which, however, were bleeding pretty freely to these he did not pay the slightest attention. "How stands the contest?" inquired Fritz in a weak voice.
Drawn up motionless in that village street and stared at, Jimmy's car had something of its old self-conscious air. It looked pleased, and at the same time surprised at itself. And while Jevons was dressing and bandaging his flesh-wound for him an idea struck Kendal and he grinned. "D'you remember the time, sir, when you wouldn't let her out if there was a spot of rain?" "I do," said Jevons.
Loungers and passers-by looked up and shrugged their Gallic shoulders and exchanged glances of commiseration at sight of a sixteen-year-old boy rushing yelling after a cab. But the boy was fleet, despite his recent flesh-wound, and presently reappeared, dragging a man by the arm, who bared his brown head and bowed low over a frankly extended hand.
