A Surgeon' LI fe in the Trenches. Camp before Sebastopol, April 6. In my last last letter I told you that I was go ing tu the tranches ; well, I went, and I had enough pt ,t. But I suppose you would !ike lo hear the u-hole story, so I shall begin at the beginning. There are two batieries there, Nos. 7 and 8. Jio. " battery is much the most dangerous. So, tficr doing what was wanted there, 1 went to No. 9, The ground of it is composed of gravel and 3rre stones, and, of course, the batte is con eiructt d of the same material. The consequence was that every shot fijed by tho enemy threw up a perfect shower of stones, some of them very 8rcfp. and, as the fired ot us every day, every one Has hit more or less, some very severely fortu u , y, although this morning I am black aud blue, and idv back aches from a large stone that fell U!' u it, I was not hurt. 1 hey kept me running between tlif two bakeries all day and most disa greeable work it was, as in one place I here was no cover at all, and in gelling in'o No. 7. there was a sort of channel which we had to run through, that was always getting balls 'hrough it. The escapes wo Inid were most wonderful. One time it was almost miraculous. I was lean- i : r i i i 10" Oil nit: cai rmjju in gnu uiui was wmm unu run out, speaking to the artillery officer who was I pointing it. lie had his lace on the looking through j the siglil ; a shot came from the Russians, hit our gun in :hc bore, and knocked off two feel ol the nuzzle, wounding by the splinters every man of the gun's crew except two, and the artillery offi. cer und myself, lour out of nine the nten literal ly fell around trie. Most of them were slightly Mounded , how any escaped, particularly the offi cer who had his lace on the gin, I cannot tell. Ol coutsc we havo to dress the men, or .the worst, cises, where I hey lie; and the Russians having g"t your range, most likely send (toother shot nearlv in the ume place as the first. This is .so weil known that the rule 13, in such cases, to run behind a traverse or anv shelter. So does every one except the: non combatant, the doc'or, who must go to his men no matter where. Ti .nve vou an instance ol this: A man out in- hand blown oil in No. 7. Thy sent lor me at unce, as the man was bleeding. At this time there wis a perfect storm of shot coming on tin unfortunate battery I hud lo dart 'into it the best way I could When I goi thrre the wounded man was J i og wiie he Has hi', with another brtsidu him, and all the rel were unugly placed behind tin- vi res nud par.ipeis. I had to the unfortunate, mi I if took mo nearly a q-.arter of an hour to dre- the wound, It was surli had one, and 1 am : r?ure, i one sbttf eawa pari nie, twenty ilnl.
