As
he
said
this
,
he
made
an
effort
to
raise
himself
into
an
erect
attitude
.
It
proved
a
failure
.
His
sinister
limb
would
lend
him
no
assistance
:
it
was
swollen
at
the
knee-joint
--
either
shattered
or
dislocated
.
"
Where
is
the
horse
?
Gone
off
,
of
course
.
By
this
time
,
in
the
stables
of
Casa
del
Corvo
.
I
need
not
care
now
.
I
could
not
mount
him
,
if
he
were
standing
by
my
side
.
"
The
other
?
"
he
added
,
after
a
pause
.
"
Good
heavens
!
what
a
spectacle
it
was
!
No
wonder
it
scared
the
one
I
was
riding
!
"
What
am
I
to
do
?
My
leg
may
be
broken
.
I
ca
n't
stir
from
this
spot
,
without
some
one
to
help
me
.
Ten
chances
to
one
--
a
hundred
--
a
thousand
--
against
any
one
coming
this
way
;
at
least
not
till
I
've
become
food
for
those
filthy
birds
.
Ugh
!
the
hideous
brutes
;
they
stretch
out
their
beaks
,
as
if
already
sure
of
making
a
meal
upon
me
!
"
How
long
have
I
been
lying
here
?
The
surf
do
n't
seem
very
high
.
It
was
just
daybreak
,
as
I
climbed
into
the
saddle
.
I
suppose
I
've
been
unconscious
about
an
hour
.
By
my
faith
,
I
'm
in
a
serious
scrape
?
In
all
likelihood
a
broken
limb
--
it
feels
broken
--
with
no
surgeon
to
set
it
;
a
stony
couch
in
the
heart
of
a
Texan
chapparal
--
the
thicket
around
me
,
perhaps
for
miles
--
no
chance
to
escape
from
it
of
myself
--
no
hope
of
human
creature
coming
to
help
me
--
wolves
on
the
earth
,
and
vultures
in
the
air
!
Great
God
!
why
did
I
mount
,
without
making
sure
of
the
rein
?
I
may
have
ridden
my
last
ride
!
"
The
countenance
of
the
young
man
became
clouded
;
and
the
cloud
grew
darker
,
and
deeper
,
as
he
continued
to
reflect
upon
the
perilous
position
in
which
a
simple
accident
had
placed
him
.
Once
more
he
essayed
to
rise
to
his
feet
,
and
succeeded
;
only
to
find
,
that
he
had
but
one
leg
on
which
he
could
rely
!
It
was
no
use
,
standing
upon
it
;
and
he
lay
down
again
.
Two
hours
were
passed
without
any
change
in
his
situation
;
during
which
he
had
caused
the
chapparal
to
ring
with
a
loud
hallooing
.
He
only
desisted
from
this
,
under
the
conviction
:
that
there
was
no
one
at
all
likely
to
hear
him
.
The
shouting
caused
thirst
;
or
at
all
events
hastened
the
advent
of
this
appetite
--
surely
coming
on
as
the
concomitant
of
the
injuries
he
had
received
.
