This was done, and Mr. Henderson turned on the current. There
was a buzzing sound from the box, and a slight tremor was visible
throughout the whole body of the unconscious man.
"It is beginning to work!" exclaimed the professor. "He is
coming to!"
Mr. Roumann opened his eyes.
"Take the rod from his tongue, Andy," directed Mr. Henderson.
The hunter did so, and the German, looking curiously about him,
asked:
"Is the projectile damaged?"
"It doesn't seem to be," replied Jack quickly.
"Are you much hurt?" asked the professor.
Mr. Roumann passed his hand slowly across his head.
"I feel rather strange here," he said. "There seems to be some
injury."
Mark silently pointed to the cut. Mr. Henderson quickly examined
it.
"The skull is not injured," he announced. "It is merely a scalp
wound. Wait a moment now and I will give you something to make
you feel better."
From a small pocket case he took a spoon and a bottle. He poured
out a strong-smelling liquid, and administered a few drops to the
German. The latter's pale face at once became flushed.
