A machine-gun began to crackle down the trench.
The setting sun was flaming upon it, a Summer shower was falling, and it was spanned by two magnificent rainbows.

As soon as Amos and Jim showed themselves, the shower of missiles ceased, and the mischief-makers stepped aside to give them free passage. "Close up here!" Hardy shouted, frantically.
