"darting scared glances, with Winchesters at 'ready' in their hands." (36)
Winchester rifles are one of the earliest repeating rifles, which means the single barrel rifle can have multiple rounds of ammunition. The pilgrims on Marlow's steam boat used these rifles against the natives Stone Age arrows. The natives were baffled by guns and this was one of the reasons the Europeans were able to manipulate and control the natives.
