In your eare; I have a cast of the best Marlins in England, but I am resolv'd to goe no more by water but in my Coach. Did you ever see the great ship? Cap. I have been one of twenty that have dind in her lanterne. En. It may be so; she is a good sailer. But ile tell you one thing: I intend to have the best pack of hounds in Europe; Sir Richard loves the sport well.
It was more than flesh and blood could stand, and the seven or eight remaining horsemen turned and fled, followed by at least three whistling bullets from as many Marlins. The fight was over and the bullion had been saved, but what of Broncho Billie, who had been left at the top of the hill four miles away?

"The old man, wrapped up in a large shepherd's cloak, occasionally opened his dull, vacant eyes. They seemed stupid with astonishment, like the eyes of hunted animals which fall at the sportsman's feet, half dead before the shot, stupefied with fear and surprise.

But most astonishing was the quantity of ammunition-cartridges for Lee-Metfords, for Winchesters and Marlins, for revolvers from thirty-two calibre to forty- five, shot-gun cartridges, Joan's two boxes of thirty-eight, cartridges of prodigious bore for the ancient Sniders of Malaita, flasks of black powder, sticks of dynamite, yards of fuse, and boxes of detonators.

Every day they took long rides in various directions, in spite of the unsettled condition of the country a condition which compelled them always to go armed with their trusty Marlins and Colts and that is how they happened to be on the Real road at such an opportune time. With these explanations, it is no wonder that the boys were keen for the adventure upon which they were now embarked.
