We heard your firing, and called you the front-guard; and and we took 'em every dog of 'em."
"Now," said the leader of this surprise party, "signal to Woody Island." Jones perforce obeyed. Jones comprehending at once the force of this manoeuvre, which would have the effect of distracting attention from the Neck executed the order with a grin. "You're a knowing one, Dandy Jack," said he. John Rex acknowledged the compliment by uncocking the carbine. "Hold out your hands! Jemmy Vetch!"
Ho for cavaliers! Pray for cavaliers! Rub a dub rub a dub! Have at old Beelzebub Oliver smokes for fear. "I should know that voice," said Everard, uncocking the pistol which he had drawn from his belt, but continuing to hold it in his hand.

Mercy! and I will tell you all." "I thought so," said Balsamides, coolly uncocking his pistol and putting it back into his pocket. "Get up, dog, and tell us what you know."
"And now, sir," said my companion, carefully uncocking the pistol ere he pocketed it, "let us continue our so agreeable conversation.

Nobody is going to hurt you." She went to the door, leisurely uncocking her revolver and pushing it through her belt.

Wait a second; I'm going to keep my saddlebags with me."
"Yes, you are right, captain," cried the chevalier, uncocking his pistols, and replacing them in his belt, "and I shall be obliged to kill you more honorably than you deserve. Draw, monsieur, draw."

"A friend," replied Jonathan, uncocking the pistol, and placing it in his pocket.
He came to a sudden halt, his sides heaving as if they would burst, and he was dripping wet as if he had been in a river. He stood, quivering, his sensitive ears cocking and uncocking wildly. Mrs. Fortescue's face grew pale, but she said to McGillicuddy calmly: "Some accident has happened to Colonel Fortescue. Send word at once to Major Harlow and to my son."
"If you utter one word in contradiction of anything I say when my workmen come into the room," said the doctor, uncocking his pistol as soon as I had rung the bell, "I shall change my mind about leaving your life and taking your character.
