text_original: We shot him. Another volley at close 634 A PORTUGUESE SHOOTING PARTY quarters proved fatal to a woodcock, whose long bill was nearly all that remained to prove his identity and the straight shooting of the eight gentlemen who had fired. Then came luncheon, and we fought all our battles over again, kiUing the slain many more times than thrice. Then we degenerated into politics — local chiefly, and election matters, just as we should have done at home.
