Crow's noisy preparations for the pursuit, came downstairs, and instantly lost all desire to sleep. Bonner was lying on a couch in the "sitting-room," which now served as a temporary bedchamber. "If you'll just hand me those revolvers, Mr. Crow," said he, indicating the two big automatics he had taken from Davy and Bill, "I'll stand guard over the house as best I can while you're away."
Captain Glenn now led the way inland, Jack and Williams striding along on either side of him. Each carried a rifle in addition to a pair of Colt automatics and a heavy sheath knife stuck in his belt. They felt perfectly able to cope with any danger that might present itself. Behind, Frank and the two sailors fell to unloading the boat. It had been well stocked with provision, water and ammunition.
You can bet the people that built it had more ways of getting in than that once-a-month family entrance. Doc, you and Olaf take the left wall; the professor and I will take the right." He loosened one of his automatics with a suggestive movement. "After you, Professor," he bowed, politely, to the Russian. We parted and set forth.
Will suggested. Then followed the "slap, slap, slap!" of the Beaver Patrol. No answer came from the darkness beyond the shaft. "He's got his nerve with him!" declared Will. "When I get hold of him, I'll teach him to answer Boy Scout challenges!" When the boys got back to their quarters they found Tommy and Sandy sitting in the darkness with their automatics and their searchlights in their hands.
Now the automatics and the rifles from the redoubt to which the Browns had fallen back opened fire. So close together were these bullet-machines that the orbit of each one's swing made a spray of only a few yards' breadth over the old redoubt, where the Browns' gun-fire had not for a moment ceased its persistent shelling, with increasingly large and solid targets of flesh for their practice.
"Two minutes more and they will be safe," said Billie. "Then we'll give them the two minutes," replied the corporal. "Cut loose at the bunch as soon as it is near enough." A moment later two rifles spoke out and then they turned loose their automatics, to give the impression of a much larger force. Two men fell and a minute later two more, as the boys' Winchesters again spoke.
"Never mind," he said, "here's mine. What can you do with it?" "Shoot the block off your flag-halyards." He smiled his unbelief. "I don't know the gun," she said dubiously. "It's a light trigger and you don't have to hold down. Draw fine." "Yes, yes," she spoke impatiently. "I know automatics they jam when they get hot only I don't know yours." She looked at it a moment. "It's cocked.

First of all, the deadly floating batteries and sail-boats were prohibited.
"If the women can pick it up as quick as the men," she read, "I have counted 1653 places in this factory where they could be working in a few weeks time that is, if the places were vacant. List enclosed. Respectfully. James O. MacPherson." It was a long list beginning "346 automatics, 407 grinders " Mary studied it carefully, and then after telephoning to the factory, she called up Judge Cutler.
Monsieur approved of this, entering into it with a boyish spirit, and for a long time we went over rifles and automatics, showing him their virtues, explaining the accuracy of their range, occasionally throwing one up to the shoulder and taking a quick aim over the sights, as fellows will who find them good companions.
