He was already at the door, hat in hand, when he recalled another little thing, and, turning quickly back to the table, he sat down and wrote the few lines to Jerry, folded them, and laid them near the loaf, from which earlier in the night he had broken off a few fragments to allay the gnawing hunger he had felt.
In his weakened condition tears started to his eyes. But he soon dashed them away, and, rising, set about dressing his wound. He removed his jacket and shirt, and bathed the wound with ocean water, as he knew that salt was good to allay possible inflammation.
