I wish you'd send it to the old woman, mother, Mrs. Jane Carr, Cincinnati, with my love." The Doctor stopped to speak to him, and then passed to the next, a fair-haired boy, with three bullet-holes in his coat, one in his breast. "Will I die?" trying to keep his lips firm. "Tut! tut! No. Only a flesh-wound. Drink that, and you'll be able to go back to the hospital, be well in a week or two."
Furneaux bent forward and squinted. "Notice the line of those bullet-holes," he said to Grant. "Any man wearing that hat must have had his scalp ploughed up," said Grant instantly. "Well, we know that nothing of the kind happened. Why?" "It was perched on top of a wig," drawled Hart. Furneaux was slightly disappointed there was no denying it.
I fired; it leapt high in the air, and rolled over close to the trunk of the tree. "Well done, Dick!" cried Charley. "I hit it, but my bullet missed the vital part." The leopard was perfectly dead. We easily found the two bullet-holes. Charley's bullet had struck the edge of a bone, and been slightly deflected. Had he been alone, the result might have been fatal to him.
So hot was the fusillade that, going into the great dome after the battle, the astronomer could imagine all the constellations of the sky depicted by the bullet-holes. When retreat became inevitable, the Communists tried to set the building on fire, but did not succeed.
"We're ashamed of our ignorance. We'd like to have you learn us what's in the book." "I will. And every week just think of that! I'm to get a real farm paper." "I'd like to borrow the paper too," Andy declared instantly. "Oh, and what's going to be done about all those bullet-holes? They they might create a draught " "We'll ride around that way and plug 'em up," Andy assured her solemnly.
For my part, I do not know when I appreciated earth and sky so heartily as this morning. Tiens! here comes a carriage our men, no doubt." "Are you a good shot?" I asked anxiously. "Pretty well. I can write my initials in bullet-holes on a sheet of notepaper at forty paces, or toss up half-a-crown as I ride at full gallop, and let the daylight through it as it comes down." "Thank Heaven!"
Stooping low we peered into the darkness of the thicket. Suddenly we saw him, not a dozen yards away. He was still afoot, but very slow. I dropped the magazine of five shots into him as fast as I could work the lever. We later found all the bullet-holes in a spot as big as the palm of your hand.
The eye was extinguished, but the tear was not yet dry. That tear was his son's delay. Marius gazed upon that man whom he beheld for the first time, on that venerable and manly face, on those open eyes which saw not, on those white locks, those robust limbs, on which, here and there, brown lines, marking sword-thrusts, and a sort of red stars, which indicated bullet-holes, were visible.
I'll tell you what it is, Cap," said he, rather cooling off, "if our folks was only as spunky as they were in eighteen hundred and thirty-two times, them fellers what come here to feed upon South Carolina, put the devil in the heads of the niggers, and then go home again, would see stars and feel bullet-holes."
We were completely surrounded by a force of 3,200, under Commandant De Wet, who, according to his own testimony to us afterwards, had five guns, four of which were in action, as well as a Vickers-Maxim. Shortly after the fighting began bullets and shells were dropping, and exploding in close proximity to our hospital. The Red Cross flag had four bullet-holes.
