"It contained a couch, two camp stools, a loaded Martini-Henry leaning in one corner, a tiny table and the steering wheel." (40)
A Martini-Henry was the first rifle that was designed as a breech loading metallic cartridge rifle. The weapon had a falling block, self-cocking, lever operated, single-shot action that was designed by Friedrich von Martini. Alexander Henry designed the barrel.
