A piercing cry sounds through the hospital. The young physician, face to face, with the tormented man can see 56 THE ORIGIN OF THE RED CROSS on his contracted features every detail of his atrocious agony. "Courage, " he says, in a low tone to the soldier, whose hands he feels gripping his back, "two minutes more and you will be saved. " The doctor stands up again; he separates the skin from the muscles which it covers, leaving them bare ; as he draws back the skin he cuts away the flesh, then r...eturning to the attack, with a vigorous turn, he cuts away every muscle to the bone ; a torrent of blood gushes out of the arteries, just opened, cov- ering the operator and flowing down on to the floor. Calm and expressionless, the rough opera- tor does not speak a word ; but, suddenly, in the midst of the silence reigning in the room, he turns in anger to the awkward nurse, re- proaching him for not knowing how to press on the arteries. This latter, inexperienced, did not know how to prevent the hemorrhage by applying his thumb properly on the bleeding arteries.
