"But even as I was getting soup, the artillery fusillade broke forth again.

This action immediately brought upon the standard bearer and the prince a violent fusillade.

Conches brayed somewhere, followed by an unaccountable, sputtering fusillade as of tiny muskets, and then by a formidable silence.

From somewhere in another direction came a sharp, continual, crackling fusillade, like the snapping of dry bamboo-joints in a fire.

And in truth, if we can believe what has since transpired through the quarrels of accomplices, it appears that in the event of a sudden attack being made by us upon Mazas to deliver them, a fusillade had been resolved upon, and that St. Arnaud had in his pocket the written order, signed "Louis Bonaparte.

This battalion, hurled on the barricade at the double, was received by a brisk fusillade; several soldiers were wounded.

This extermination, which an English witness, Captain William Jesse, calls "a wanton fusillade," lasted from two till five o'clock.

The shots did not come in a fusillade.

Both heard the fusillade and saw Mocka streak of flying bluepass within a few feet of them.

A terrible anxiety had just taken possession of me; it, seemed as if the sound of the fusillade was approaching, and I thought with terror that our army was perhaps retreating, and that in its flight it would descend to the plain and pass over my body.

She will, assist you in your work" The sound of the fusillade had gone farther away.

The whole pack would break loose in another minute or less; but Jack had reason to believe their altitude was such as to render the fusillade harmless.

It was impossible to cross the stream in face of the fusillade and cannon.

He accordingly ordered the Federal signal-party, which had used the peak as a signal-station, but were hastily folding up their flags, to remain where they were, laid violent hands upon a brigade which was passing, and ordered it to occupy the crest; and, when Hood's men rushed up the rocky slope with yells of triumph, they were suddenly met by a fusillade from the newly-arrived brigade, delivered full in their faces.

So cool and collected had the men become that even in the midst of fire from the advanced trenches, and while keeping up on our side a brisk fusillade, the soldiers smoked their pipes, rude jokes were bandied from one to the other, and laughter was heard.

What is this fusillade?

In the meantime a perfect fusillade of blows had been showered on the door outside.

For a moment the Japs were completely off their guard, but they soon recovered, and dropping flat in the grass, they opened a brisk fusillade.

The Spaniards, from their advantageous position in the block-house and trenches on the hill top, had located the American forces in the bushes and opened a fusillade upon them.

" From the coxswain's throat issued a machine-gun fusillade of whiplash words.

Or there might be a fusillade of shots and he himself might feel the burning sting that comes with rifle death.

" He rose to the hilltop with Rod close behind him, and from the opposite side of the lake there came a fusillade of half a dozen shots.

Five seconds more and they were sending a terrific fusillade of shots into the edge of the cedarsten in alland by the time he had reloaded his own gun Rod could see nothing to shoot at.

For though they had heard of the new ordnance, and even seen one or two, they had never realized the effect of a fusillade.

As the smoke cleared away I looked eagerly to see the brute kicking around in the agonies of death; but what was my amazement to find that instead of kicking around in the agonies of death, as a beast with any sense of propriety would after such a fusillade, the perverse animal was making directly for us at a gallop!

By some inexplicable maneuver he managed to clamber on to the bottom of the fuselage of the machine, astride of which he sat as if he was riding a horse.

He also realized that the bullets were cutting through space all around them; and a splinter striking his arm announced the fuselage of the plane had already been struck, showing the gunner had their range.

The hissing missiles cut through the canvas of their wings, beat upon the side of the fuselage, and even nipped the Air Service Boys more than once as they stormed past.

" "I should say they did," admitted Jack, as he examined the various marks showing where the Hun bullets had punctured different parts of the wings, or struck the fuselage, narrowly missing both the motor and the partly protected petrol supply tank.

This was now roped on the fuselage behind the Major.

Just now he was dragging from their hiding-place in the fuselage two iron tubes, perhaps eighteen inches long and six in diameter.

"Hurry!" exclaimed Bruce, as a gaunt form with patches of brown, and double nose, telling of mixed blood, sprang forward, eager to drag the fresh meat from the fuselage.

Over the edge of the fuselage a face appeared, a white dot framed in a khaki flying hood.

To save myself from a violent collision with his tail planes I was compelled to cling desperately to the frail wood and wire girder of the fuselage, and it was in this position that I was carried the length of the flying ground.

Slowly and with extreme care I edged my way inch by inch along the fuselage toward the main planes and the pilot's seat.

Two were on the gangplank leading up to the entrance door in the fuselage.

He saw rows of lighted windows, each cased in shining metal; a V-pointed pilot-housethe same where the still figure had dropped over the sill of the open windowa high-raised rudder of artful curve, vast as the broadside of a barn; railed galleries running along the underbody of the fuselage, between the floats and far aft of them.

As the men trailed up the gangplank, that steeply rose to the sliding door in the fuselage, the Master checked them on his list.

The four men found themselves in a brightly lighted corridor that led directly across the fuselage to a similar door on the other side.

The ticking of the aluminum-cased chronometer, now marking a little past 2 a.m., soothed him, as did the droning hum of the propellers, the piping whistle of the ship-made hurricane round the fuselage, the cradling swing and rock of the air-liner hurling herself almost due east.

Silence came, save for the droning purr of the engines, the buffeting gusts of wind along the fuselage, the slight trembling of the gigantic fabric as it hurled itself eastward through the high air of night.

A good deal of vibration and of shuddering whipped the wing-tip, too; all was different, here, from the calm warmth, comfort, and security of the fuselage.

"Yes, and Nissr would go crumpling down, a minute later, a blazing sieve fore-and-aftwings, tanks, fuselage, everything riddled with thousands of bullets.

"Only one man aboard her, with a machine-gun," commented the Master, eyes at glass, as he watched the flick of sunlight on the attacker's fuselage, the dip and glitter of her varnished wings, the blur of her propellers.

The pattering hail of slugs continued to zoon from the sand-hills, bombarding the vast-spread wings and immense fuselage of Nissr.

Sheltered though the Legion was, either inside the fuselage or in vantage-points at the gun-stations, one incautious exposure timed itself to meet a notched slug.

Her galleries, fuselage, and wings were heavily laden with sand that materially increased her weight; and to the casual eye she gave the impression of a bird which never again would soar on level wing.

Quite a pattering of rifle-bullets had developed against the metal body of the lower gallery andharmlessly glancingagainst the fuselage.

" As if to corroborate his statement, a rifle-bullet whistled through the open trap and flattened itself against the metal underbody of the fuselage, over their heads.
