As I went towards the fire I saw a figure wrapped up in a cloak sitting in the corner of the chimney place apparently in great pain. Upon nearer inspection I found this was my friend John Colborne, who had received a severe wound in the shoulder. Upon asking me if I was wounded, I showed him the stump of my arm, which so affected him, poor fellow, that he 22O GENERAL SIR GEORGE T. NAPIER. CH. V.
burst into tears. He was in such horrid pain, his spirits were quite sunk, and he could not stand th...e sight of my loss. How often afterwards did he wish his arm had been taken off, for the suf- ferings he went through for two years afterwards were very great. His arm was broken close up to the joint of the shoulder, which, and the scapula itself, were split. The ball remained in the joint for two years, when at last it was taken out, and then he recovered, but has a stiff joint. Never did any man suffer more patiently than he did. But it was Colborne, and that is sufficient, there being no suffering in human life which he would not endure, if necessary, either for his country or his friends.
