It produced a momentary faintness; but he braced himself up, and wound his handkerchief around his arm, calling upon the wheelman to tie it, as he hastened to the aid of Vincent. He said not a word about the accident. "Only twenty, sar; all gone ober to New Orleans, sar." "Take it from him," said the commander. "If you don't, I will send for the second lieutenant 146 and a file of men to put you out of my cabin."
