| When loading for hunting, place a touchhole pick fully into the touch hole. |
| In cannons a small touchhole was drilled into the breech and filled with fine powder. |
| It always is there with men of Bertie's order, and only comes to light when the match of danger is applied to the touchhole. |
| Firing was apparently accomplished by applying a red-hot wire to a touchhole drilled through the top of the thickest part of the breech. |
| Carefully, deliberately, Pamela Russell lowered her candle to the cannon's touchhole. |
| Pulling up on the bottom of the serpentine brought the tip of the match down into contact with powder in the flashpan, a small, saucer-shaped depression surrounding the touchhole atop the barrel. |
