bandolera, f., bandoleer, hunting-belt (slung across the shoulder).

The Vendean, carrying his musket in a bandoleer, and leaning upon a long pole, leaped from one bank to the other with amazing facility.

Sixty ball cartridges in 12 clips are packed in a cloth bandoleer to facilitate issue and carrying.

When full the bandoleer weighs about 3.88 pounds.

Bandoleers are packed 20 in a box, or 1,200 rounds in all.

Ammunition in the bandoleers will ordinarily be expended first.

The islands of the Fijians are but small; no Fijian Attila can lead forth his hosts into neighboring countries; no Fijian Goths can pour down from Polynesian Alps into an Oceanic Italy; no Athenians can there send sons and gods to a Coreyra: and no Fijian Miles Standish can there walk up and down before his pipe-clayed bandoleers in foreign colonies.

" Riding great Flanders horses, a flagon swung on one side of the large padded saddle, and a haversack on the other,booted to the thigh, and girded with the leathern bandoleer, supporting cartridge-box and basket-hilted sword, they are a picturesque and a motley troop.
