"Ho, ho, ho!" laughed the big tramp, clapping his hands to his sides and almost dancing a jig in his amusement. In the meantime Reddy had cast his eyes about for some kind of a weapon. There was not a stick nor stone in sight. The only thing he could find was a pile of winter apples that had evidently been collected by the owner of the orchard to be barreled next day.
The proper place for it was at the bow of the commodore's canoe, so it was yielded to Ned. With the exception of Randy's single barreled shotgun, no firearms were to be taken along. The boys demurred to this at first, but were finally won over by Ned's sensible arguments. Canoeists cruising through a peaceful country seldom need weapons of defense.
"All right," said Sol, "an' here's three more little jugs like it." "What else do you find?" asked Henry. "Oh, look at these, will you!" exclaimed Sol, holding up two splendid double barreled duelling pistols of Spanish make. "Now I'm sure that this is the boat of Alvarez himself," said Henry. "Such fine things as these could belong only to the Commander.
Bring that bottle with you; the tiffin basket can wait here till we come back. In another five minutes I had begun to climb down the watercourse the shikaree following me. I took the double barreled rifle and handed him the shotgun, having first dropped a bullet down each barrel over the charge.
It looks more nateral fur a Spaniard to be dark." As they stood in the Place d'Armes looking at the sights, the five themselves began to attract much attention.

"We'll treat them wolves the same way," said Shif'less Sol. "I'm glad of the chance," said Long Jim. "Me, too," said Tom Ross. The five rose up to sitting positions against the board wall, and everyone held across his knees a long, slender barreled rifle, with the muzzle pointing toward the forest.
He patted with affection the long barreled piece which lay over his own arm. Much of this conversation, loud and excited as it was, could not fail to reach the ears of Josephine, who presently had joined them, and who now heard the story of the old man, so fully confirming all Dunwody said. "There is trouble! There is trouble!" she said, with her usual prompt decision.
A boat parted the wall of dusk and he saw that it contained both French and Indians, eight in all, the warriors uttering a shout as they beheld the fugitive canoe. "Keep steadily on, Dagaeoga," said the Onondaga. "I have my long barreled rifle, and it will carry much farther than those of the foe.
With thirty tons of hay, grain, case goods, and barreled provisions they started back early the following morning. Jo's heart was light, for this was exceedingly good business, and it was coming faster than she had dared to hope, with so few camps established. Still, she was puzzled over the repairing of the mountain road.
He called, in his excitement, for his nephew, who was working on his farm, to come, and immediately sent him to Billy Duncan's to get him a double barreled shot gun. Meantime, Mrs. McGee appeared on the scene, and began to cry, begging White to stop and allow her to speak to him. But he replied: "Go off, go off, I don't want to speak to you."
