Unfortunately, his gun misfires and he is severely wounded. The girls quickly summon the house doctor from a nearby hotel, and he arrives at the same time as Carson Drew, Ned Nickerson and two of Ned\u2019s college friends. In other words, four capable, able-bodied men. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMay I have some boiling water?\u201d the physician requested at that moment, and Nancy flew to get it for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs the man badly injured?\u201d she inquired anxiously as she watched the doctor work over the patient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cH-m, can\u2019t tell yet,\u201d he murmured without glancing up. \u201cThere seems to be a piece of shell imbedded in his forehead. Will you take these instruments and boil them for me, please?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As it became evident to the others that the doctor meant to remove the shell, they hastily retreated from the cabin.
