I held my fire, God help me; so did your dad held it till the bull had passed the death-line. You know with charging buffalo there's more to stop than just life. There's weight and momentum and there's a rage that no other, man or beast, can equal. Your dad got him got him with the perfect shot, but not before the bull had passed the death-line.
This raising of the standard of homes will do a work that will not end with the children; the death-line will sag downward for all the first twenty or thirty years of life.

They drew up in a semicircle, but kept outside of eighty yards, which in self-defense would have been the death-line. In their mosquito fleet was a ship's boat stolen probably from a murdered crew. Six savages paddled this rather awkwardly with the blades of oars which had been broken off.
