Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


Wada turned the little automatic rifle over to me, where I still
stood under the weather cloth at the break of the poop.


"All ready," he said. "You take off safety."


"Get Roberts," Mr. Pike called to me. "He's the best shot for'ard.
If you can't get 'm, jolt the fear of God into him anyway."


It was the first time I had a human target, and let me say, here and
now, that I am convinced I am immune to buck fever. There he was
before me, less than a hundred feet distant, in the gangway between
the door to Davis' room and the starboard-rail, manoeuvring for
another shot at Mr. Pike.
