He operated on the patient with complete success.
After performing the operation he kept her for some days under his own care, and then transferred her to the nearest hospital--the hospital at Mannheim.

He was obliged to return to his duties as army surgeon, and he left his patient in the condition in which I saw her, insensible on the bed.

Neither he nor the hospital authorities knew anything whatever about the woman.

No papers were found on her.

All the doctors could do, when I asked them for information with a view to communicating with her friends, was to show me her linen marked with her, name.
