Mr.Manders, do you get the wounded on board and carried below.

Will you step into my cabin, Mr.Hethcote, and give me full details of this unfortunate affair ?" Upon mustering the men, it was found that the total casualties in the two boats of the "Falcon" amounted to, Lieutenant Pascoe killed, Midshipman Archer wounded; ten seamen killed, and nine wounded.

Jack's wound was more severe than he had at first thought.

The ball had gone through the upper part of the arm, and had grazed and badly bruised the bone in its passage.

The doctor said he would probably be some weeks before he would have his arm out of a sling.
