which was then in the oven j my men had therefore to

Wood occupied herself in binding up the heads and limbs
of the wounded, and did all she could to alleviate their
sufferings, assisted by Miss Cumberbatch, till the arrival
of the doctor from the Swiftsure, for whom I had tele-
graphed on our arrival.

deferred from day to day and from week to week.

is of itself a severe punishment.
