For an instant there are the sinister sounds of savage snarls, rending flesh, cracking bones and screams of pain and fear, and then a dull red flash heralds the rifle's roar, and the tawny terror falls gasping his life out across his prey. The second, and the only sportsmanlike way of lion-hunting, is by tracking him in the open.
Like all the comforting commonplaces about the Boers, this is now overthrown. The untrained, ill-equipt farmers have to-day assaulted positions of extraordinary strength, have renewed the attack again and again, have rushed up to breastworks, and died at the rifle's mouth, and have only been repulsed after fifteen hours of hard and gallant fighting on the part of the defence.
As I told you, I'd try to stand it." "That is well, Red Coat. But it is not enough merely to wish for Black Rifle's bear steaks. We will have a portion of them ourselves." "Now, Tayoga, your talk sounds a little wild to me." "But listen, Red Coat." The Onondaga suddenly put his fingers to his lips, and blew a shrill whistle that penetrated far in the forest.
He nodded, because the thickness in his throat made it the easier form of speech. "I wrote you there," she said. "I wrote the letter before I jumped into the sea. It went to Nome with Captain Rifle's ship." "I didn't get it." "You didn't get it?" There was wonderment in her voice, and then, if he had observed it, understanding. "Then you didn't mean that just now? You didn't intend to do it?
He still believes "A man's a man and a rifle's a rifle"; I still believe that half the value of every human being depends upon his environment: we are not going to convert one another now. As we were actually talking, Williams brought over an answer: "No. 5104, cipher. From Earl Kitchener to General Sir Ian Hamilton. With reference to your No.
"Yes, sir," said he, busy pliers never still, "guns and rifles is very like us you and me, say. Some is just naturally good and some is worse than bad load up, George! A new rifle's like a kid pretty sure to fire a bit wide at first not being used to it we was all kids once, sir, remember! But a bit of correction here an' there'll put that right as a rule.
"'I did not, sez Vulmea; 'I was shootin' mesilf. "'That's quare, sez O'Hara, 'for the front av my jackut is black wid your powther. He tuk up the rifle that was still warm an' began to laugh. 'I'll make your life Hell to you, sez he, 'for attempted murdher an' kapin' your rifle onproperly. You'll be hanged first an' thin put undher stoppages for four fifteen. The rifle's done for, sez he.
"Beatrice please, please don't stay here, trying to save me." "Do you think I would go?" she cried. "You must. The food is about gone. Just enough to last one person through to the Yuga cabins with berries, roots. Take the pistol. There's six shots or so in the box. Make every one tell. Take the dead grouse too. The rifle's broken and we can't get meat. It's just death if you wait.
Oncle Jazon turned to Beverley and said in rapid French: "Surely the man's not going to fight those fellows yonder?" Beverley nodded rather gloomily. "Well," added the old man, fingering his rifle's stock and taking another glance through the gate, "I can't shoot wo'th a cent, bein' sort o' nervous like; but I'll stan' by ye awhile, jes' for luck. I might accidentally hit one of 'em."
