Now the pursuer was losing some of the advantage of his superior speed; the Parrott was perceptibly higher; the Valkyr must needs mount in a more sweeping curve. None the less, Lanyard, peering down, saw still another tongue of flame spit out at him; and two bullet-holes appeared in the port-side wings of the biplane, one in the lower, one in the upper spread of canvas.
"This is the quietest place in the Rocky Mountains most of the time. But when it is noisy, believe me, it is noisy. Look at the bullet-holes in the walls." "The old story," remarked de Spain, inspecting with mild-mannered interest the punctured plastering, "they always shoot high."
My chair, on top of the table, was none too securely balanced. I had found what I was looking for, a part of the plaster ornament broken away, and replaced by a whitish substance, not plaster. I got out my penknife and cut away the foreign matter, showing a small hole beneath, a bullet-hole, if I knew anything about bullet-holes.
He heard me through, still staring; then he said: "'My dear fellow, if you are Dave Duck I ought to inform you that I buried you two months ago. I was out with a small scouting party and found your body, full of bullet-holes and newly scalped somewhat mutilated otherwise, too, I am sorry to say right where you say you made your fight.
Then to the stirring tune of 'Sambre-et-Meuse' the band and the soldiers marched in front of the new officer who, the ceremony now being over, joined his relatives some distance away." General d'Esperey, looking over Guynemer's Vieux-Charles, noticed the damaged parts. "How comes it that your foot was not injured?" he asked, pointing to one of the bullet-holes.
Skins hung along two sides, with bullet-holes and knife-holes showing: of the great grey wolf, the red puma, the bronze hill-lion, the beaver, the bear, and the sable; and in one corner was a huge pile of them. Bare of the usual comforts as the room was, it had a sort of refinement also, joined to an inexpressible loneliness; you could scarce have told how or why.
Against this hardy improvised defence the fierce attacks spent themselves like stormy waves against outstanding rocks; yet as a proof of the heavy fire, no tent escaped with less than ten or twelve bullet-holes.
"I tied this ribbon to the chair all those years ago." My eyes were on the peg and the holes in the wall. Sherry questioned him. "Why do you spike the wall with the little red peg, Becodar?" "The Little Red Peg, senor? Ah! It is not wonderful you notice that. There are eight bullet-holes in that zarape" he pointed to the wall " there are eight holes in the wall for the Little Red Peg.
"I came out from Guayaquil," answered Blake, reaching searchingly down in his wet pocket. "And I can't go back." The sandy-headed man backed away. "From the fever camps?" Blake could afford to smile at the movement. "Don't worry there 's no fever 'round me. That 's what I 've been through!" And he showed the bullet-holes through his tattered coat-cloth. "How'd you get here?"
Those who have been there say that the supply trains and the whole service is working splendidly. They have organized a new sport among the air-scouts. Every day, at the end of the day's reconnoitring, the airmen count the bullet-holes in the wings and body of their machines.
