"Without dreaming that the rifle would go off, I put a cap on the useless barrel, and,... snap--ph-i-zz--bang-- went the charge of damp powder, much to my astonishment, igniting the stick which remained in the barrel, and driving it like a fiery comet against the ribs of the beast (wolf), who, yelling with pain, darted into the prairie at the top of his speed, his singed hair smoking as he ran." George Frederick Ruxton
