"One double No. 12 central-fire Keeper's shot-gun, full choke both barrels." This gun proved of the greatest service to us afterwards in shooting game for the pot. "Three single-action Colt's revolvers, with the heavier, or American pattern of cartridge."

Livingstone, and Bombay, the headman of my caravan, were the two charged with watching the canoe; but, having imbibed too freely of this intoxicating toddy, they slept heavily, and in the morning the Doctor and I had to regret the loss of several valuable and indispensable things; among which may be mentioned the Doctor's 900-fathom sounding-line, 500 rounds of pin, rim, and central-fire cartridges for my arms, and ninety musket bullets, also belonging to me.

In the High Street he stopped at Clifford's, the gun-maker's, and bought a heavy revolver, with a box of central-fire cartridges. Six of them he slipped into the chambers, and half-cocking the weapon, placed it in the pocket of his coat.

Bullets for English revolvers are not graded in millimetres, but there appears to be sufficient demand for this size to cause British firms to manufacture them.

"What should a black slave be doing with cartridges?" "Be ready to stand upon his defence in a case of emergency. Here, take some of mine and fill the chambers." As he spoke the professor handed six of the little central-fire cartridges, while Frank drew the small revolver he carried out of a pocket within the breast of his cotton jacket, and began to thrust them in.

"Oh, no, Mother it is so old and out of date, I should be laughed at. I might just as well take an arquebus or a crossbow." "Is not a gun a very expensive thing?" "Why, you may make it so, of course; but I don't want that. I have been studying the Field, and I can get a good central-fire breech-loader for £10."
