The gun I had with me was a double-barrelled pin-fire Lefaucheux breech-loader, and just before I left the cutter, I put in a couple of cartridges, intending to have a shot at some cranes which I saw walking about on the beach. Most fortunately for me, they flew away before I could get near enough.
My own revolver was a Deane and Adams, and could be depended upon the Lefaucheux could not, for the cartridges were so old that twenty-five per cent, of them would miss fire.
And as I spoke I felt a strange, unreasoning fury against the approaching boat. I picked up an Evans rifle we had two on board filled the magazine, handed it to Niâbon, told her to lay it down in the little cabin, out of sight, with the other arms three Snider carbines, my breechloading shotgun, and three of those rotten pin-fire French service revolvers the Lefaucheux.
The boy pressed his eager, Moorish face against the glass as if he would thrust it through the pane. "Fluxas pa're, fluxas!" he cried with the excitement of one who meets an unexpected friend, calling his father's attention to the display of huge Lefaucheux pistols.
