"We've automatics here, but as long as we're heading them this way, they'll know the game's up." "We've got her!" the captain exclaimed. "There's the ferry and the first of the steamers coming down in the middle. They'll have to chuck it." Right ahead of them, blazing with lights, a huge ferry came churning the river up and sending great waves in their direction.
So they were withdrawn to other redoubts in the rear, where a line of automatics placed under their rifles were in pointblank range of their old position which the Grays' shells would tear to pieces. Back of them was a brown carpet of waiting soldiery of as close a pile as Westerling's carpet of gray. The rain-drenched Brown engineers dug as fast as the enemy's.
The automatics of both lads spoke four times in rapid succession, and as many men fell to the floor. For a moment the Apaches fell back. In this moment Jean swung wide the door, and, picking up his revolver, rushed to the side of the two lads, while through the door streamed, one after another, the squad of French cavalrymen.
Now the creature at my side was creeping slowly toward the near-by sea. At my hip hung a long-barreled six-shooter somehow I had been unable to find the same sensation of security in the newfangled automatics that had been perfected since my first departure from the outer world and in my hand was a heavy express rifle.
I checked and discovered that full power was being applied. Attempts to override the automatics were unsuccessful, and while I was attempting to clear the trouble, the captain called again, saying that the request was false, and asking why I had turned the radiators on. I told him that the controls were jammed, and he instructed me to make repairs and set up re-absorption.
Accordingly, each thrusting a pair of fully loaded automatics into his belt, as a measure of precaution against possible contingencies, they left their apartments and, descending the stairs, made their way to the garden quadrangle, from whence they passed, without interference, into the grand square, receiving the salute of the sentry at the gates as they went.
You hastened the equipment of American soldiers with the automatics they so much needed and helped them to French ordnance stores generously. Fate treated you cruelly that winter and left you in a wretched dilemma with your men in March on the railroad.
"What did you suppose was making all that noise, friend?" "Well, there is someone in there," stoutly maintained Harry. "Hush, boys," commanded Jack. "Let's see who it is." Automatics were produced from under pillows and the boys moved forward to investigate. The cries still came loudly. "Who are you and what do you want?" questioned Jack.
There was instant scattering. The men dived for whatever poor bit of protection they could find: jutting rocks, tree trunks, thin thorny bushes even. Grim and Hilary crouched together behind a great boulder. "How many pistols are there in the crowd?" Hilary asked quietly. "Not many. Outside of your automatic and my dynol pistol, there are two other dynols and not more than a dozen automatics.
"Here, too," said Owen, slipping the Luger back into his pocket. "Never shot one of 'em in my life. Ever try one?" "I " Pete caught himself on the verge of saying that he had tried Ed Brevoort's Luger once. He realized in a flash how close the sheriff had come to trapping him. "I never took to them automatics," he asserted lamely. Pete had dodged the question.
