Here we go for all of you English double fans;
"Having lost my two-grooved rifle, I resolved to try what could be done with the double barrelled Moore and Purdey rifles, carrying sixteen to the pound, and I accordingly set about casting hardened bullets for them. For this purpose I had brought in with me a quantity of solder, but I now had the mortification to discover that all I had possessed of this important article had mysteriously vanished."
"In another moment I was in the middle of them, closely followed by Johannus; and in a twinkling the finest bull had received the contents of the Moore and Purdey behind the shoulder. I was now joined by Wolf, who rendered me important service by considerably engrossing the attention of the elephant, running barking before him as he charged. I was in a precious hurry, as the sun was setting and I kept loading and firing at duelling distance."
