Sport was one of Slagg's weaknesses, though he had enjoyed very little of it, poor fellow, in the course of his life. To shoot a lion, a tiger, or an elephant, was, in Slagg's estimation, the highest possible summit of earthly felicity. He was young, you see, at that time, and moderately foolish!
There was no doubt in Flinn's mind about it, as his actions proved, but there were considerable doubts in Slagg's mind, as was evinced by his immediate petrifaction not with fear, of course, but with something or other remarkably similar. Slagg chanced to be walking in advance at the time, making his way with some trouble through a rather dense bit of jungle.
Presently there was heard among the bushes a whirring of wings, and up flew a covey of large birds of the turkey species. Flinn stepped briskly aside, saying, "Now thin, let drive!" while the attenuated black fell cautiously in rear. Bang! bang! went Slagg's gun. "Oh!" he cried, conscience-stricken; "there, if I haven't done it again!"
