But I've been wondering. Old Donald said he was careless with his own pistol. But the fact is, Aldous he was shot from behind!" "The deuce you say!" "There was no perforation except from behind. In some way the bullet had spent itself before it reached him. Otherwise it would have killed him." For a moment Aldous stared in speechless amazement into Blackton's face.
Such a bullet under ordinary circumstances makes a clean perforation, piercing the soft tissues, and sometimes the bones, with very little damage. In a dum-dum bullet the casing at the tip is cut or removed, with the result that, on striking, the casing spreads out and forms a rough, irregular missile, which does terrific damage. Such bullets were forbidden by the Geneva Convention.
He executed all the perforation in this work, whether undercut or at an easy angle, with great facility, laborious as it was, and the manner of the whole work was very delicate.
"The aspect of a tumbling tempest's foam Frozen in a moment; a dead whirlpool's image." At the foot of one of these barren gray rocks, which, from its shape and perforation, exactly resembles the barbacan and gate of a castle, St. Remy is situated.
Here is an example of this rouletting, in a small gauge. A similar form is called serpentine perforation. It is here shown. Still another form leaves the edges of the stamps in sharp points. This is called percé en scie or saw-tooth perforation. When this perforation is very fine it is called serrate. There is still another form of rouletting, which we also show you.
By the table were bloody towels, and in a shallow glass tray was a small object like a damaged piece of earthworm. "Not a bit too soon," said the surgeon, holding this up in his forceps for my inspection. "It's on the very verge of perforation."
The mere perforation of balloons with shot does them little harm, and the possibility of hitting a balloon that is drifting about at a practically unascertainable distance and height so precisely as to blow it to pieces with a timed shell, and to do this in the little time before it is able to give simple and precise instructions as to your range and position to the unseen gunners it directs, is certainly one of the most difficult and trying undertakings for an artilleryman that one can well imagine.
It was done for the convenience of themselves and their customers. Some of the stamps of Mexico have a still larger perforation gauging 5½. The finest gauge is about 19. This is an unofficial perforation and was applied to some of the early stamps of Tasmania. We show you here a variety of perforations. The first two are ordinary perforations of different gauges, 9½ and 14.
He interrupted himself, on seeing an expression of unbounded astonishment on Don Luis's face. "What's the matter, Chief?" "Look! ... on the table ... that letter " He looked. There was a letter on the writing-table, or, rather, a letter-card, the edges of which had been torn along the perforation marks; and they saw the outside of it, with the address, the stamp, and the postmarks.
That they have wars, appears by their weapons; for supposing the lances to serve merely for the striking of fish, the shield could be intended for nothing but a defence against men; the only mark of hostility, however, which we saw among them, was the perforation of the shield by a spear, which has been just mentioned, for none of them appeared to have been wounded by an enemy.
