We camped that night on a bluff, barren point, and Hubbard named it "Partridge Point" in bonour of our first bird. All he was able to eat was some hardtack dipped in tea. At his request George and I scouted for trails. Each of us carried a rifle and wore at his belt a pistol and a cup in addition to the sheath knife we never were without. In our pockets we placed a half-pound package of pea meal.
"Well," replied Boylston, stopping in an exasperating manner to light his pipe, "the smallest can a-goin' is a half-pound powder-can, and that'll hold over two thousand dollars worth even that wouldn't be bad for a single night's work eh?" "Just so," responded Mr. Baker; "then there's oyster-cans an' meat-cans." "Yes," said Boylston, "an' the smallest of 'em's good fur ten thousand, ef it's full.
"I gave her a whole half-pound of chocolates," returned Maria, in a fine glow of indignation, "if she would let me push the baby till four o'clock, and it isn't four o'clock yet." "It ain't more than half-past three," said Gladys. "Shet up!" said her mother. She stood looking rather helplessly at the three little girls and the situation.
As usual, the fearful recoil of the rifle, with a half-pound shell and twelve drachms of powder, nearly threw me backwards; but I saw the mark upon the elephant's shoulder, in an excellent line, although rather high. At once the furious beast charged straight at the enemy; but now came the very gallant, but foolish, part of the hunt.
The sutler weighed out a half-pound of box raisins, did them up, and handed them across the counter, saying, "No pay; them's for Whittier."
Five half-pound tins butter. Three half-pound tins dripping. Ten half-pound tins ideal milk. Two tins imperial cheese. One one and one-quarter pound tin Ceylon tea. One three-quarter pound tin ground coffee. One four pound tin granulated sugar. One quarter-pound tin cocoa. Two tins camp biscuit. One half-pound tin salt. One one and one-half tin Scotch oatmeal. One one-pound tin lentils.
Here it is highly amusing to watch the apparently intelligent machines which divide the chocolate into half-pound lumps, the process being accomplished with incredible swiftness.
"The tinned goods on the Rattler, now I could make a hearty meal off of them, but this muck " He took a half-pound strip of broiled shark and flung it to the dog. "I suppose I'll come to it if you don't surrender pretty soon." Raoul laughed unpleasantly. "I came to offer terms," he said pointedly. Grief shook his head. "There aren't any terms.
My "Baby" not only screamed, but kicked viciously. However, I knew that the elephant must be bagged, as the half-pound shell had been aimed directly behind the shoulder.
The blood upon the bushes guided us in a few minutes to the spot where the elephant lay dead, at about three hundred yards' distance. The whole day passed in flaying the two animals and cutting off the flesh, which was packed in large gum sacks, with which the camels were loaded. I was curious to examine the effect of the half-pound shell.
