He sprang over the boat's side, gun in hand, as he spoke, and, influenced by the same feeling, Brace and Briscoe followed, the former thrusting his brother back. "No, no, Free," he cried. "You're not strong enough yet. Stay in the boat and cover us with one of the rifles."
"I don't think there are any more near," said Briscoe, "and I don't want to have the unpleasant feeling upon my conscience that I've killed a fellow-creature; but if any more of them send arrows in this direction, Dan and I will shoot at sight, and we're uncommonly good shots."
Briscoe, his hands crashing out involuntarily a discordant chord, looked over his shoulder with widening eyes. "Why, Gladys, there is not a soul in the hotel now!" "That is why the light there seemed so strange." "Besides, you know, you couldn't have seen a light for the mists." "The mists were shifting; they rose and then closed in again.
The men started, Sir Humphrey and the captain followed, and Brace and Briscoe came last. "Yes, that's gold, sure enough," said Brace, looking furtively at the piece of ore thrust into his hand.

"Looks big," said Briscoe, raising his gun as if to fire.
They were made out to David Warren Briscoe, of Aldebaran Four. According to them, David Briscoe was twenty years old, hair black, eyes hazel, height six foot one inch. Bart wondered, painfully, if Briscoe had a son and if David Briscoe knew where his father was.

And Briscoe had a hundred other tricks whereby he increased his riches and repute.
While she was there, Barry Briscoe, who was helping with a W.E.A. summer school at Haslemere, would come over on Sundays and spend the day with them. Not even the rains of July 1920 made Barry weary or depressed. His eyes were bright behind his glasses; his hands were usually full of papers, committee reports, agenda, and the other foods he fed on, unsatiated and unabashed. Barry was splendid.
