An oarsman sprains his wrist: the carpenter concocts a soothing lotion.
It was swelled and painful; he ordered it to be sponged with hot water, and then some lotion was put on.
They were suffer- ing sharp physical pain, of course; and weariness, and hunger and thirst, no doubt; and at least none had given them the comfort of a wash, or even the poor charity of a lotion for their wounds; yet you never heard them utter a moan or a groan, or saw them show any sign of restlessness, or any disposition to com- plain.
