Just before the impact, and as Colonel Anderson brandished his sword aloft and urged his men on with a shouted command, Hal discharged his revolver at a tall Austrian who had taken deliberate aim at Colonel Anderson.

I asked, as my employer appeared to wait for an observation from me. "He did," said the Wolf with a growl. "I discharged him on the spot.

Locks put on all the doors, and threatened to be locked up. Col. Ethan Allen brought to the Provost from Long Island and confined below. Badcock discharged from below. 30. 5 P.M. all rooms locked up close.
