HOW TO LOAD AT A ' HOT CORNER ' (FIGS. 36, 37) 



Just one dodge in the matter of loading quickly, to 

 conclude this Letter. 



Every loader, when carrying a second gun, should 

 be taught, if there is a prospect of several shots in 

 quick succession, to open and load and charge a gun 

 with two cartridges held in reserve. It is wonderful 

 how easy this is with a little practice. If you have a 

 handy assistant, you can, if he loads with a couple 

 of cartridges between his fingers (as shown on the 

 previous page, figs. 36 and 37), put in six shots with 

 great rapidity, as the gun first fired can then be re- 

 charged with the least possible delay.
