Tell me what I can do for you what do you want?" "A GUN, sir a plain, straightforward GUN one that can be relied upon. Not for mySELF, sir I am not murderously inclined but for a friend who has commissioned me the exact word, sir although the percentage is small comMISsioned me to acquire for him a fowling piece of the pattern, weight, and build of those belonging to St.
They were an indolent, pleasure-loving race, fond of dancing and merriment, living at ease in their low, square, roomy houses on the straggling, rudely farmed plantations that lay along the river banks. Their black slaves worked for them; they, themselves spent much of their time in fishing and fowling.
Children nowadays might do a great deal worse than remember these wise words of the oldest book in the world. But you are not to think that the Egyptian children's life was all teaching and prim behaviour. When Tahuti got his holidays, he would sometimes go out with his father and mother and sister on a fishing or fowling expedition.
The land was large enough for us, why should we fight to conquer swamps which would be useless to us? We believe that there are large numbers, although they have, from the nature of the country, little dealings with each other; but live scattered in twos and threes over their country, since, living by fishing and fowling, they would not care to dwell in large communities.
The chief, and almost only recreation, in which Major Grantham indulged, was that of fowling.
"All very well, gentlemen; but you will remember that neither Miss Wallace, nor I, shoot." "Except with the arrows of Cupid," answered Bulstrode, gaily; "with these you do so much execution between you," emphasizing the words, so as to make me look foolish, for I sat between them, "that you ought to be condemned to hear nothing but fowling conversation for the next year."
Outward bound, and off the pitch of Cape Horn, he used to sit on the taffrail, and keep the steward loading three or four old fowling pieces, with which he would bring down albatrosses, Cape pigeons, jays, petrels, and divers other marine fowl, who followed chattering in our wake.
They carried not only arrows for war, but for hunting and fowling; the heads of which are proportioned in size to the game which they are pursuing: for oxen, stags, or wild boars, they have arrows or javelins, with heads weighing a pound and half, which they discharge near hand, and which scarcely ever fail of being mortal.
He was too slothful to do things in the routine way, and vented his passion for sport in useless tricks. For instance, he would catch nightingales only with his hands, would shoot pike with a fowling piece, he would spend whole hours by the river trying to catch little fish with a big hook.
But after he had put them in better humor with a barrel of brandy they "surrendered the post, with three cannon, 500 muskets and fowling pieces, and 1000 pounds of bullets." Grantham now delivered Ingram, Colonel Langston, and other rebel officers to Berkeley, who at once pardoned them.
