It passed out on the back part of the left side of the neck, one inch below the level of the lower extremity of the ear.
Master Commanding Mather was struck by three balls, one of them, however, merely grazing the back without penetrating the skin. Another ball entered the upper part of the right side of the abdomen, and passed out on the right side of the back. The third shot entered the front of the mouth, carried away the whole of the left side of the upper jaw, shattered the left side of the lower jaw, and passed out on the left side of the neck an inch below the ear. This wound must have been almost immediately fatal, as it must have severed the large blood-vessels and nerves of the neck on the left side.

We carried both to the boat, and escaped without discovery.
