"Yes," he said significantly, "I have plenty. It is good for the black man's guns. But if you fired it from yours pff! It makes much smoke, and the barrel very wet, and the shot do not go too far.
They shot apart like released electrified dust-atoms, and pff! they were gone wiped out. Like pricked bubbles, they had ceased to be. And neither gave any explanation.
