He wore large gold ear-rings in his ears, and was attired in a thick dreadnought jacket over a black-and-red- striped shirt, which was confined about his waist by a broad leather belt, to which was attached a sheath-knife of most formidable dimensions.
Some one had thrust a large sheath-knife into his hand. "Do yer duty! Do yer duty!" the men cried. The cook bent over, but he caught the boy's eyes and faltered. "If ye don't, I'll kill ye with me own hands," Behane shouted. From every side a torrent of abuse and threats poured in upon the cook. Still he hung back.
The noble hunter could resist no longer, and dropping his pistols and rifle, he drew his sheath-knife and slung shot, and, after winding his blanket around his left arm to protects it, rushed in and compelled the animal to turn upon him.

Joses was busy with that wooden-handled sheath-knife of his. Silver took a step forward. "Ah, then! would you?" he scolded, and hit the other a tap over the wrist with the handle of his hunting crop. Joses yelped and dropped the knife.

He had no pistol, but instead he held in his hand a sharp, long-bladed sheath-knife, which effectually kept the prisoners from stirring.
"I have tuk a bigger nug than you and nicked his kicks into the bottom of his gizzard till his liver-lights fell into my mauleys. So it's nish or knife betwixt us, my bene cove!"
