"That's so. Was any one hit?" added Morgan.
"No; and of all the shots we have fired, we have brought down but one Indian."
"If we had been as near as you were, Phil, we should have dropped one every time," replied Plunkett. "However, I knocked over that one that fell."
"You did!" I exclaimed.
"Why, yes; didn't you see him fall?"
"I did; but he fell the instant I fired," I replied.
"You are a little fast, Phil. You haven't hit anything to-day," said Plunkett.
"I hit every time I fired."
"You! Nonsense!"
"I fired the first shot after the Indians started to run, and this one dropped before you had fired at all," I persisted, indignant that Plunkett, who had wished to run away in the beginning should claim to have done all the execution that had been accomplished.
