227 times vainly endeavored to awaken him, at last became alarmed, and went for the surf^eon ; he fomid him retiirnino: from the tent of another officer of the 97th, for whom, alas ! his aid had come too late ! He. Dley v\'as carried into the open air, and laid on the snow. His men stood romid him, wring- ing their hands. Eagerly as brothers, tenderly as mothers, some assisted the medical officer in chafing with snow the body of him they loved, in the hope of restoring vitality. At length, afte...r the severer measures of blistering and bleeding had been resorted to, consciousness returned. He was spared for a nobler end, to fulfil his own choice — " As a soldier I will die !" Three mails arrived in England, without any tidings of him — a time, it need scarcely be said, of heart-sickening suspense to those who loved him ; it was like life from the dead when tidings of his recovery came, in his own handwriting. A serious illness had followed -the accident.
