1.) “…A loaded Martini-Henry leaning in one corner…” (Conrad 57)
The Martini-Henry was a lever-activated rifle that was adopted by the British in 1871. Much like the Winchester the Martini-Henry was also stored on most ships to protect the passengers from attack. They were also always loaded for easy access and kept in the corner closest to the door.
