They backed it close up and fired; the
door burst open; windows shattered and
nearly all the plsstering fell, covering the
I bed where johnson and Collamer were
/ hiding.
Collamer sprang up saying, SD, we
must get out OF here, they have fired shot
straight thro' this house 20
johnson said, AGet under the clothes,
we must stick it out now"
Entertainment was found by the Demo-
Gratis, and daylight saw Walt and his com
pany back home, looking for sure that
they had been 10 a celebration.
Ii was a supreme effort TO fire this gun so
fast that by giving vent it would discharge
itself. | have often seen a stream of fire
follow the swab out, but by closing vent
thoroughly tight a cartridge could be safe
~ sent home altho' the gun was so hot
that no one could hold the hand on it.
On one occasion, when firing in front of
the Universalist church, the vent was
probably tended in a careless manner and
while Walt was taking out his rammer
there was premature discharge. OF
course there was great deal of fire, smoke
and confusion. When il cleared up a lit
tie, and we eomprehended the situation,
our hero was standing near us, with hair,
Whlskers ana shirt gone, lace, hands and
arms burned TO black blisters, but was
still holding fast to the ramrod. 1t was a
miraculous escape, the wonder and talk of
Barnard for years.
Walt never tired OF telling what he went
through and often said no man ever had
such an experience coming out alive. He
thought he was in the air fifteen minutes
and turned nine double somersaults, but
never once lost his senses, determined to
hold the ramrod and alight on his feet
among the boys, ready to proceed with fir
ing, but 1t was an over estimation OF his |
powers, for there followed months when |
he was out OF a job.
When we think OF the fearless action /
and reckless conduct Of men and boys who /
ran this machine through so many years, |
burning ten thousand pounds OF powder, /
handled in a careless, slipshod manner 4
and no life or limb lost, not even a serious 4
accident ever happened, we are almost lost |
N wonder at the outcome. Knowing as
We do that whiskey and rum were freely
