Braman describes the case of a man on whom several injuries were inflicted by a drunken companion. The first wound was slight; the second a deep flesh-wound over the trapezius muscle; the third extended from the right sterno-cleido-mastoid midway upward to the middle of the jaw and down to the rapine of the trachea. The external jugular, the external thyroid, and the facial arteries were severed.
As Providence tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, so it possibly might conform the heads of that day to a thickness suitable for the blows and knocks to which they were variously subjected; yet it was not without considerable effort and much struggling that Marmaduke's senses recovered the shock received, less by his flesh-wound and the loss of blood, than a blow on the seat of reason that might have despatched a passable ox of these degenerate days.
They all dropped down. Stanton was dead, and James was bleeding badly from the flesh-wound in his leg. "That was the fellow in that tower over there." Lawrence made a reconnoissance. "He is now shooting straight at us." "This has got to stop." Edestone frowned. "Lawrence send this message. No cipher; I would rather have them catch this.
Joining his opponent's blade near the point, from a wide circular parry, he made a rapid thrust in seconde, carrying his forte the entire length of Fareham's blade, almost wrenching the sword from his grasp; and then, in the next instant, reaching forward to his fullest stretch, he lunged at his enemy's breast, aiming at the vital region of the heart; a thrust that must have proved fatal had not Fareham sprung aside, and so received the blow where the sword only grazed his ribs, inflicting a flesh-wound that showed red upon the whiteness of his shirt.
Although badly wounded, he was not disabled, and he took advantage of the first pause in the fight to appeal for help to some men of the 38th who occupied the wall behind which he fell. "You speak English gallows well for a Rooskie," said one of the men, brusquely, but not without sympathy. "What do you want? Water? Are you badly hit?" "A bullet in my leg and a flesh-wound in my arm." "Hold hard!
He was in a high fever, and while I bathed his face and hands, I asked the cause of his outbreak, and he sobbed: "Oh, the pain in my wound! This is the third night I have not slept, and my God! I can bear it no longer!" It was a flesh-wound in the thigh, such an one as usually proved fatal, and while I set him to talking I began patching scraps of observation into a theory.
"An' it's not even murder," said he, with a shade of disgust in his matter-of-fact voice; "yon's no more than a flesh-wound, and I have my doubts whether it felled him; but, sirs, he just stinks o' chloryform!" He got up and fixed his keen gray eyes upon me; my own were full of tears, but they faced him unashamed. "I understood ye to say ye saw him go out?" said he sternly.
I had been waiting near half an hour when D'ri came back slowly, with a downhearted look. "'Tain' no use," said he. "Can't never git thet bear. He's got a flesh-wound high up in his hin' quarters, an' he's travellin' fast." He took a fresh chew of tobacco and mounted his horse. "Terrible pity!" he exclaimed, shaking his head with some trace of lingering sorrow.
"Yes, parbleu!" said a young soldier, who had not learned much respect before his superiors; "and he has a ball in his neck himself." "Are you wounded?" said the Emperor, with a quickness in his manner. "A mere flesh-wound in the arm, of no consequence, Sire."
"He tore open his shirt bosom, and there upon his hairy breast was a bloody spot; but the knife had struck the breastbone and inflicted only a shallow flesh-wound. Joachim laughed, replaced his shirt, and said: "'Ah! I might have known a girl's hand could not strike a deadly blow. I will bring her out, my lord. Get me a rope.
