"Nearly scatheless, for I knew not that I had been wounded until the fight was over, and it was but a pike thrust that entered at the shoulder-joint and cut the flesh thence to the neck. It was but an affair of a bandage and a bit of plaster. The only one seriously hurt was Hal Carter--it was some three weeks before he began to mend. He had half a dozen wounds. Another of my men was killed and two of Albert's."
