The jingal, a big muzzle-loader on a stand of iron forks, was touched off and a heavy shot crashed into the door. "Whew!" whistled Jim. "That's a heavier shot than I thought. That bit of iron weighed nearer half a pound than anything." "It's cut into the door pretty badly," cried Jack, who had run forward to look, and found a long streak of white in the plank which had been struck.
He was well satisfied that the last shot was from the Remington of Herbert, while the one that preceded it a few minutes, he was convinced came from the muzzle-loader of Nick Ribsam, owned by Mr. Marston. "The boys seem to have found something too do, but I don't believe they have seen anything of the bear hallo!"
Cast me loose or I'll show you wot! 'Urry up, or I'll 'olystone the decks with you!" "Huh!" he added, as the other went to work with his sheath-knife. "Wot's the matter? I want to know. Jes' tell me that, will you, wot's the matter? Hey?" Kent was quite dead when they rolled him over. The gun, an old-fashioned, heavy-weighted muzzle-loader, lay near him. Steel and wood had parted company.
An ordinary single-barrel muzzle-loader of the commonest kind with a charge of common shot will kill a fawn. I once started to stalk a pheasant that was feeding in the corner of a meadow. Beyond the meadow there was a cornfield which extended across to a preserved wood.
"Why, no sooner had we fashioned the first muzzle-loader and they had seen it work successfully, than fully three thousand Mezops fell to work to make rifles. Of course there was much confusion and lost motion at first, but eventually Ja got them in hand, detailing squads of them under competent chiefs to certain work. "We now have a hundred expert gun-makers.
Also, if you want a double- barreled shot-gun, muzzle-loader, go along the bank of the Missouri River, on the north side, about a mile below St. Charles bridge, and about twenty feet along the bank, just east of that dike that runs out into the river, and you will find in a little gully a shot-gun and a musket. Be careful. I left them both loaded with buckshot and caps on the tubes.
