Encounter with a Serpent in a Soldier’s Cell at Madras Barracks
In Madras a soldier named Jack was confined for eight days in a solitary cell. During a restless night a large snake entered via a local air hole and crawled over his body for about an hour. He killed the snake with a stone, then informed the officer. Impressed by his nerve, the commander commuted his punishment. The incident underscores remarkable calm under extreme danger.
