I soon overhauled the critter, and picked up my rifle to give him a settler, when I found that in paddlin' I had spattered water into the canoe, wettin' the primin' and makin' the gun of no more use than a stick. I didn't understand much about the natur of the beast then, and thought I'd run him down, and drown him, or knock him on the head.
"Poor Jim Baker was struck, and fell athwart the breech, wettin' the primin' with his blood just as we was about to fire, so we've had to renew it; but we're ready now, sir." "Very well," cried the skipper. "Bear the boat off from the boom, and fire at the chain-coupling; that ought to do the business for us."
"We'll want this," said he, putting it to his lips, and gulping down a portion. "Come Mike, be tastin'; and aftherwards i put this in your pocket." Mike followed his example, and was corking the flask when Rody returned with the gun. "She's charged," said Frank; "but we'd betther put in fresh primin' for 'fraid of her hangin' fire." He then primed the gun, and handed it to Reillaghan.
However, Jacques decided the matter by saying, in a tone that savoured strongly of command, although it was accompanied with a good-humoured smile "Go for'ard, young man; but you may as well put in the primin' first."
Also, dere be t'ousands o' buffaloes farder on." "Can ye trust yer dog keepin' back?" inquired Joe, with a dubious glance at Crusoe. "Trust him! Ay, I wish I was as sure o' myself." "Look to yer primin', then, an' we'll have tongues and marrow bones for supper to-night, I'se warrant. Hist! down on yer knees and go softly.

He gin'rally says, `I not un'r'stan' English ver' well, shakes his head an' grins, but the Cappen never listens to his answers, bein' too busy loadin' and primin' for another broadside." The man to whom he referred cut short the conversation at this point by shouting down the stair: "Hallo! Gillie, you powder-monkey, where are my shoes?"
"Indians, may be," said Walter. Robin shook his head. "Don't think so," said he, "for the redskins don't often come to see me at this time o' the year. But we'll go see; an' look to your primin', lads if it's a war-party we'll ha' to fight, mayhap, if we don't run."
In three seconds, or perhaps five, the water all around me, for the distance of a small front yard, was just as flat as a table and as smooth as glass, and so invitin' in appearance that the three gulls jumped out of the boat and began to swim about on it, primin' their feathers and lookin' at themselves in the transparent depths, though I must say that one of them made an awful face as he dipped his bill into the water and tasted kerosene.
