Source-grounded excerpt

Here they come, straight for our tree, seven or eight of all sizes, from the innocent 'joey' to the grim ancient, 'the old man,' in the irreverent vernacular of the colonists. Now is our time. We step bravely from behind our tree and bang into the patriarch's head and shoulders, as for one moment he arrests his mad career in wild astonishment at our sudden apparition. He staggers, but does not fall. _Habet_, doubtless; but the half-instinctive muscular system enables him to carry off the balance of a cartridge of double B. As the affrighted flock dashes by, we wheel and accommodate the next largest with a broadside. It is more.

The excerpt is presented as public-source context. Terminology belongs to the cited source and may be historical, contested, culturally specific, or outdated.
