I put young Bullen on to pick him off.

The range was about nine hundred and fifty yards.

His first shot went behind the chief.
I did not see where the next shot struck, but I have no doubt it was close to him.

Anyhow, the third rolled him over.

I call that splendid shooting, especially as it was from a height, which makes it much more difficult to judge distance.
"The chief's fall took all the pluck out of the tribesmen and, as we opened upon them in volleys, they soon went to the right about.
We peppered them all the way up the hill and, as I could see from my glasses, killed a good many of them.
