The bullet went through his wrist," answered Lieutenant Wingate, who, having turned up the sleeve of Bangs' coat, was peering at the wounded wrist.

"Men, I'm sorry I struck him, but you see I didn't know some one was going to shoot him.

I had to punch him to save my own life, expecting that he would shoot again.

As it was I nearly ran into that second shot.

Fetch me something--some water." A glass of lemonade was brought, and Nora Wingate threw it into the face of the unconscious mountaineer.
