At the same moment the fire was once more opened from the woods, and a rifle-ball sang through the doorway, and knocked the doctor's musket into bits.
Macdonald, for his part, with a face as red as a comet, reined up Selim, and drawing his claymore, began to pitch and prance about, cutting and slashing the empty air, as if he had a score of enemies before him, and ever and anon, roaring out "Huzza, boys! damme, let's charge!" "Charge, boys! charge!" cried all the rest, reining up their horses, and flourishing their swords.
He is somewhat larger than the Huzza Porpoise, but much of the same general make. Provoke him, and he will buckle to a shark. I have lowered for him many times, but never yet saw him captured. The largest kind of Porpoise; and only found in the Pacific, so far as it is known.
A voice at this instant was heard at the door. It was De Grey's voice. "I have got a large basket of provisions for your breakfast." A general shout of joy was sent forth by the voracious public. "Breakfast! Provisions! A large basket! De Grey for ever! Huzza!"
And as he shook the dice with a frenzied air, the major and Lydyard drew near the table, and even Wyvil roused himself to watch the result. "Twelve!" cried Disbrowe, as he removed the box.

There was a lusty huzza when the Englishman's mainmast crashed to the deck and this finished the affair. Silas Talbot found that he had trounced the privateer Dragon, of twice his own tonnage and with the advantage in both guns and men. While his crew was patching the Argo and pumping the water from her hold, the lookout yelled that another sail was making for them.
"Sneak, we've killed them all huzza!" cried Joe, flourishing his rod. "Yes, but you didn't do much you're as big a coward as ever." "Oh, I wasn't afraid of them, Sneak," said Joe; "I was only a little cautious, because it was the first time I ever went a snaking." "Yes, you was mighty cautious! if your bridle hadn't broke, you'd have been home long ago."
