Not His Time to Die.

Mr. Frank Scudamore relates hn extraordinary incident which occurred during the Sudan campaign, when be saw an officer, a friend of his, go down apparently shot through the head. “To my surprise," he says, “I met him walking about after the battle, apparently none the worse, save his head was bandaged. Then he showed me how the bullet, striking and deflected by one of the hooks of his helmet chain, had run right round his forehead, cutting a groove under the skin, and had then glanced off the helmet hook at the other side.”
