He says: “The gun was pointed directly shead and fired with » charge of 630 pounds of slow-burning powder and a 1250-pound pojectile. The blast pro duced by the rush of the powder gas and the shot was so tremendous that the plates of the forecastle were forced in and the deck beams bent out of shape, while al- most every round carried away some frag. ment of the projecting portions of the ship, even when the training was to the right or the left. It is estimated that the vessel would be reduced to something very like a wreck were twenty-five rounds to be fired cither directly ahead or direct. ly astern. This interferes with, or ren. ders impossible, firing when other in flight or chase, and has osused our naval constructors to modify the plans for the projected battleships, as it is not deemed desirable to have them sink from the dis. charge of their own guns,” Democrat, as enemies.
