He had a colored man along to cook and clean his guns for him he had more things to shoot with, and of more shapes and sizes, than you ever seen in one place outside of a gun-store and he was dressed that nice in green corduroys, with new-fangled knives and hunting fixings hanging all over him like he was a Christmas-tree, he might have hired out for a show.
This, at least, is my memory of that never-to-be-forgotten night. To-morrow might give us life or death a grave beneath the seas or mastership of that house of mystery; though of this no word passed between us, but briefly we gave each other the news and asked it in return. "Captain," says the doctor, he being the first to speak, "they tell me you've struck a gun-store. Is it true or false?"
There is but one gun-store, but all the hardware dealers handled something in my line. It is a sleepy town. Time was when it had a large trade in the surrounding States, but of late it sells near home. A town of its size might and ought to support two or three good gun stores.
Mob tearing up track on Eleventh Avenue. The mob have just sacked a large gun-store in Grand Street, and are armed, and are on the way to attack us. To Fifteenth. Send your men here forthwith. From Twentieth. Send two hundred men forthwith to Thirty-fifth Street arsenal. From Twenty-first.
He glanced about the room, and the thought of packing was burdensome. Perhaps it would be better to leave that to the last. In the meantime he might be getting an outfit. He put on his hat and went out, stopping in at a gun-store, where he spent the remainder of the morning buying automatic rifles, ammunition, and fishing tackle.
The mob have just broken open a gun-store on Third Avenue, between Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Streets, and are arming. From Twenty-first. Send help the crowd is desperate. And so on. Between these rapid telegrams asking for help, were others making and answering inquiries. And so it was kept up from daylight till midnight for three days in succession.
