As a rule, she was out for no other purpose, and this being so, it is not to be supposed that the officer in charge of her would do otherwise than employ the means ordained for that end. Accordingly, as soon as a sail was sighted by the tender's lookout man, a gun was loaded, shotted with roundshot, and run out ready for the moment when the vessel should come within range.
Major-General SHERMAN: I have just received your dispatch announcing the capture of Atlanta. In honor of your great victory, I have ordered a salute to be fired with shotted guns from every battery bearing upon the enemy. The salute will be fired within an hour, amid great rejoicing. U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant-General.
That blue challis wrapper shotted with pink rosebuds. "Lilly, play that over." Eames down there flinging up the "Jewel Song" like a curve of gold. Her place! She half rose to her feet. Down in front! She sat again, but a sudden, an inexplicable sense of wanting to plunge from the height of the balcony seized her. It had been so long since the old neuralgic stabbings of spirit.
In the hall, through the open doorway, the mouth of a shotted field gun could be seen. The guardians were the Minute Men, organized to maintain the honor and dignity of the state of Missouri. Across the street from the house was gathered a knot of curious people, and among these Stephen paused. Two young men were standing on the steps, and one was Clarence Colfax.
To bring once more the laws and the national will into accord; to reconcile the people and the laws by restoring the constitution of queen, lords, and commons. How was he met by the government? By the nourish of the sword; by the drawn sabre and the shotted gun, in the market place and the highway.
It was nearly six o'clock before Jackson's men had all slipped silently into position behind the dense woods on this little slope in two long grim battle lines, one behind the other, with columns in support, his horse artillery with their big guns shotted and ready. Ned saw a slight stir in the doomed camp of blue. The men were standing up now and looking curiously toward those dense woods.
He walked to the very center of the room, and looked about him, studying all their faces. It was as if he were a central pivot and their destinies revolved around him. They had no idea what he would say next, and they hung on his words. "And now for business," Lopez said. "And remember zat he what tells a lie shall be right away shotted." In his excitement he lost the little English he had.
Julian levelled again; indeed, indeed it was only as a threat; but his hand shook with passion the weapon was full-cock, hair-triggered shotted heavily as always hark, hark! And his father fell upon the turf, covered with blood! When a wicked man tampers with unintended crime, even accident falls out against him.
O'Flynn leveled another, both men being of course invisible from without; as the young sentinel obeyed the order to openly lounge in the window and look toward Choo-qualee-qualoo he could see within the parapet that the gunners of the battery were standing to their shotted pieces, Captain Demeré, himself, in command.
By noon we had brought the chase to within five miles of us, and Ryan deemed that the time had now arrived for us to declare ourselves; we accordingly hoisted British colours, and fired a gun as a signal to the barque to heave-to; the only notice taken of which was the exhibition of Spanish colours by the chase, and the firing of a shotted gun of defiance; so now at last we knew each other.
