Swedish term or phrase: att hålla resten från livet
Kuriren sköt ett par skott genom väggen med sin Colt 45, men fulingen rullade sig lidande ner, bort och försvann. Fick tag i min Karbin och en handgranat som kuriren osäkrat och sprang ut för att hålla resten från livet som vi antog befinna sig bakom kojan.
Fick ögonen på en tattare i skogen några meter bort och sköt ett skott efter honom och han tog beteckning. En liten del av överkroppen blev dock synlig när nyfikenheten eller hämndlystnaden tog överhand och jag pekade ut honom för kuriren som nu hade
fått fram sin Krag och det small till på en gång och hornblåsaren föll bakåt och blev liggande.

agree  Thomas Johansson: Seems reasonable. "The rest" should refer to other enemies, supposed to be hiding behind the hut.
