One was an elephant gun with strips of rimpi, or green hide, lashed round the stock and locks, such as used to be owned by the Dutchmen a 'roer' they call it.
Instead of defending the line, threatened from Mayence to the Roer, he threw himself on the left of the operations, and entered Holland at the head of twenty thousand men.
This string followed the horizontal direction of the barrel, and was just "taut;" so that any farther strain upon it would act upon the little lever, and by that means pull the trigger; and then of course "bang" would go the roer. When this string was adjusted, and the gun loaded and cocked, the trap was set. Nothing remained to be done but bait it. This was not a difficult task.
They appeared to think that the trouble of fighting dogs was not so great as that of returning up the mountain; but at the first report of Groot Willem's roer, they scattered off after a fashion that left the dogs not the slightest chance of overtaking them. Only one of them remained behind, and it was the animal that had received the shot.
