Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London


"That's remarkably like a bullet, lad," he said reflectively. "And
it's a long shot Big Alec's making."


"And he's using smokeless powder," he concluded, after an
examination of the mile-distant shore. "That's why we can't hear
the report."


I looked at the shore, but could see no sign of Big Alec, who was
undoubtedly hidden in some rocky nook with us at his mercy. A
third bullet struck the water, glanced, passed singing over our
heads, and struck the water again beyond.
