Job #1

 As he rose to the surface, gasping for breath, he saw that he had been a long time under water; he was perceptibly farther down stream nearer to safety. The soldiers had almost finished reloading; the metal ramrods flashed all at once in the sunshine as they were drawn from the barrels, turned in the air, and thrust into their sockets. The two sentinels fired again, independently and ineffectually...

..."The officer," he reasoned, "will not make that martinet's error a second time. It is as easy to dodge a volley as a single shot. He has probably already given the command to fire at will. God help me, I cannot dodge them all!"

Prior to this section, Farquar was shot at simultaneously, so he dove to avoid the bullets. As stated in this section, when each soldier finished reloading, he would fire without waiting for the others. This, Farquar noted, was bad for him because he could safely avoid numberless bullets by diving under the water and coming up when he heard the volley end, but as long as the bullets came randomly, he obviously couldn't dive under each shot. So the chance of his being hit was greatly increased.

Dude, this guy was mental! I would just swim.
