"N-o," I returned dubiously; "I don't suppose they will--if they can help it.  But that is our only chance, all the same, and we must bend all our energies to accomplish it.  And there is no particular reason why we should not, so far as I can see, unless of course we are unfortunate enough to have a spar or two knocked away.  Good shooting is what is going to decide this fight, Henderson; and we must hope that ours will be better than theirs."
