"Then he must have hidden them away somewhere," Tommy declared. "We laid them down just before crawling through that hole." "You will doubtless find them in time," Antoine suggested. "I should think the half-breed would have kept them pretty close," Sandy observed. "You don't find automatics like those every day!"
But before any of them could draw, Hal had whipped forth his own automatics, and covered them. "I'll blow the head off the first one who makes a move," he said sternly. The French officers made no move to draw. The Frenchman whom Chester had knocked down now got to his feet, considerably sobered up by the force of the lad's blow.
As the pirates drew closer, Frank and Jack also dropped their hands to their automatics. In his heart each lad trusted Captain Jack, but each had decided in his own mind that it was better to be prepared. "Men," said Captain Jack, addressing the rabble, "as I lay a prisoner in the fort during the night, it came to me that we are all wasting our lives in our present manner of living.
Hamilton stood up, dropped the robe from his lap and skipped nimbly across the cabin. Elizabeth Wheaton stepped back in surprise. "But I thought " she began. "So does Captain Koenig," said Hamilton with a smile. "By the way, Miss Wheaton, are you armed?" "No." Hamilton explored the seat of his chair. He produced a box, which he opened. There lay at least a dozen shining automatics.
Fervent thanks to the Almighty were mingled with whistled snatches of wedding marches and popular songs. An aide taking a message to the wire preferred leaping over a chair to going around it. A subaltern and a colonel danced together. Victory, victory, victory out of the burr of automatics, the pounding of artillery, the popping roar of rifles!
Against it, tall and straight and powerful, Gray rose and walking slowly to the cliff's edge, looked down into the valley mist now rolling like a vast sea of cloud below them. And, as he stood there, Evelyn's hand grasped McKay's arm: "If he touches his rifle, shoot! Quick, Kay!" McKay's right hand fell into his side-pocket where one of his automatics lay.
You'd better take your gas masks with you, and also your automatics, for you may run into a party of Fritzes out to get the night air." "That's what we'll do," decided Blake, and his chums agreed with him. And then they began to make their preparations for the perilous trip across No Man's Land that night.
Meantime the Boers on the summit held their ground. Their movement was backed by three field guns and two automatics across the Bester's valley at ranges of 2,000 yards and 4,000 yards. Their further advance along the edge was really checked by two Manchester privates, Scott and Pitts, who kept up an incessant fire from their little wall at the extremity after all their comrades were shot.
Sago, jerking his arm free, threw two shots at Overland, who replied with a rippling tattoo of the automatics. The Inyo County outlaw sank to his hands and knees. Then Overland leaped through the doorway. The Moonstone riders spurred toward the saloon, thinking that the quarrel had provoked too many guns. Overland tried to stop them, but they were hot for fight.
Her hair covered her like a shining veil, and where it clustered in a disheveled mass upon her breast Alan saw her hand thrusting itself forward from its clinging concealment, and in it to his amazement was a pistol. He recognized the weapon one of a brace of light automatics which his friend, Carl Lomen, had presented to him several Christmas seasons ago.
