A soldier was seen lying near the edge of the creek, wounded and bleeding, an artery having been severed. Capt Heaphy having some knowledge of surgery, volunteered to go to his assistance, &, having reached him, was engaged in taking up the artery when he was fired at by a body of natives, who were concealed in the fern close by. He was struck and slightly wounded in 3 places, but nevertheless succeeded in completing his work of humanity &, with the assistance of some soldiers, in carrying off the man..."
