A voice, louder than the rest, was heard exclaiming: "Carajo! guardaos! esta el rifle del diablo!" It was doubtless the comrade of Jose, who had been in the skirmish of La Virgen, and had felt the bullet of the zundnadel. The guerilleros, awed by the death of their leader for it was Yanez who had fallen crouched behind the rocks.
To Raoul I gave my revolving pistols, not expecting to have any further use for them myself; and to the hunter, that which he valued more than any other earthly object, the major's "Dutch gun". Doubtless, ere this, the zundnadel has slain many a "grisly b'ar" among the wild ravines of the Rocky Mountains. Courteous reader!
Their third shot ricocheted, striking the top of the strong plank behind which the major was screening himself, and only frightening the latter by the shock upon the timber. Lincoln again fired. This time his shot produced no visible effect, and a taunting cheer from the enemy told that they felt themselves beyond range. Another shot was fired from the zundnadel, apparently with a similar result.
"It's a zundnadel, I assure you, and will kill at eight hundred yards." "Is it possible?" cried I, starting; for I now recollected the curious-looking piece which I had ordered to be cut loose from the saddle of Hercules. "Why did you not tell me that before? Where is Major Blossom's rifle?" I shouted, looking around. "This hyur's the major's gun" answered Sergeant Lincoln.
