Often the wolverene, finding the foxes dead or wounded, makes a meal of them before the hunter comes along to examine his traps and guns. The wolverene kills many of the foxes while young, and sometimes on finding their burrow, widens it with his strong claws, and eats the whole family in their nests. Even young wolves sometimes become his prey.
The other three boats were not so fortunate. The noise we made in attacking the first ship, our shouts, and the cries and curses of the enemy, aroused the people of the second ship, so that they had time to man their guns, of which she carried ten, before the boats got alongside.
Penchard crowns the hill just in the centre of the line which I see from the garden. It was one of the towns bombarded on the evening of September 5, and, so far as I can guess, the destruction was done by the French guns which drove the Germans out that night.
But do you know anything about guns?" "Only enough to keep away from their muzzles, sir." He had it in his hand now holding it by the end of the barrel, Todd instinctively dodging out of the way, although he knew it was not loaded.

Italy, at the beginning of her war, had many heroes but few guns.
I have during these last days fired several times quite near to the house to frighten the birds away that eat my fruit. I want to see if the paper is mine." The peasant gave it to him. It was a very thin lead form, such as contain the cartridges used in American breech-loading guns.
"Yes," said Smith; "storm of the wrong sort. I want to hear our guns going, not thunder." From time to time the boat which was on the patrol duty came alongside to report itself, but there was no news; in fact, none was expected, for such a dark night was not one that would be chosen by vessels wishing to put to sea.
Placing our guns and bags in the care of one of the warriors, we took our seats on the matted floor, filled our pipes anew, and, whilst a bowl of kava was being prepared, Li'o, the young chief told us about the advent of the ta~nifa. Let me first of all, however, explain that the ta~nifa is a somewhat rare and greatly-dreaded member of the old-established shark family.
