CHAPTER XII. Carson Badly Wounded--A Drawn Battle--An Ineffectual Pursuit--The Summer Rendezvous--Carson's Duel. This act of chivalry on the part of Carson simply transferred the perilof his friend to himself, for the Indian whom he had selected for histarget was carefully sighting at him, at the very moment the gun wasdischarged. Kit saw what was coming and bounded to one side in the hopeof dodging the bullet. Quick as he was, however, he did not entirelysucceed, though the act doubtless s...aved his life. The ball fromthe rifle of his adversary grazed his neck and buried itself in hisshoulder, shattering the head of one of the bones. Carson though badly hurt, did not fall or retreat. On the contrary, hetried desperately to reload his gun, but found it impossible to raisehis arm. He was hors de combat beyond all question, and bleeding sofast that his weakness compelled him to lie down on the ground whilethe conflict went on about him. The fight was very hot for a time, the result being what may be called a drawn battle, with the advantageinclining to the side of the Indians.
