"A similar case of miraculous preservation came to my notice a few days since in the person of Captain B. F. Crail, of Company F, 3rd Ia. Cavalry, who, in one of the recent skirmishes with Porter's guerrillas, had a ball pass through his cap, in uncomfortable proximity to his head, another cut a hole through his cravat. In a later skirmish near Santa Fe, Mo. a bullet struck him in the right breast and was removed soon after. While in the same engagement another bullet struck him on the other side, over the heart, passed down and lodged in the stomach, where it has remained until day before yesterday, when it was extracted by Dr. McGuin, the gentlemanly and efficient surgeon in charge of the convalescent hospital in Benton Barracks."
