Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to give me your considered opinion concerning the interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
The mall was waylaid by seven robbers, and the guard shot three dead, and then got shot dead himself by the other four, "in consequence of the failure of his ammunition". (Ch. Dickens, “A Tale of Two Cities”)
failure = shortage, insufficiency, lack, want
