The explosion was so close, that the pieces of shell seemed driven across my face, and my ears quivered with the sound. I looked at Lowe, to see if he was struck. He had sprung to his feet, and clutched the cordage frantically. "Are you pulling in there, you men?" he bellowed, with a loud imprecation. "Puff! bang! whiz-z-z-z! splutter!" broke a third shell, and my heart was wedged in my throat.
"Whiz-z-z-z" started the ball from the fingers of the coupeurs "click" dropped the ball into a black department of the board; "clink! tingle!" cried the money, changing hands; but not a word said Auburn Risque, standing like a stalagmite with his eyes upon ten francs. "Whiz-z-z!" "click!" "click!" "tingle!"
"Puff! bang! whiz-z-z-z! splutter! crash!" "Puff! bang! whiz-z-z-z! splutter! crash!" "My God!" said Lowe, hissing the words slowly and terribly, "they have opened upon us from another battery!" The scene seemed to dissolve. A cold dew broke from my forehead. I grew blind and deaf. I had fainted. "Pitch some water in his face," said somebody. "He ain't used to it. Hallo! there he comes to."
