Tells of Death and Disaster.
To bind1 up Swinton’s wounds, some of which were ugly ones, was the first business of Grummidge, after he had hastily staunched the blood which was flowing copiously3 from his own cheek. The stout4 seaman5 was well able to play the part of amateur surgeon, being a handy fellow, and he usually carried about with him two or three odd pieces of spun-yarn for emergencies—also a lump of cotton-waste as a handkerchief, while the tail of his shirt served at all times as a convenient rag.
Having finished the job he looked earnestly at the pale face and closed eyes of his old enemy, and said— “You’ve bin2 pretty much banged about old chap—eh?”
As the wounded man made no reply, Grummidge rose quickly, intending to run to the settlement for help, knowing that no time should be lost. He was hastening away when Swinton stopped him.
“Hallo! hold on!” he shouted. Grummidge turned back.
“You—you’re not goin’ to leave me, are you?” demanded his enemy, somewhat sternly, “I—I shall die if you leave me here on the cold ice.”
“Swinton,” replied Grummidge, going down on one knee, the more conveniently to grasp the unwounded hand of his foe8, “you mistake my c’rackter entirely9. Though I’m not much to boast on as a man, I ain’t quite a devil. I was only goin’ to run to Wagtail Bay to start some o’ the boys with a stretcher to fetch ye—an’ it’s my belief that there’s no time to be lost.”
