Alas! there are but too few grown-up people so far-seeing and thoughtful as this brave and distinguished officer. There were six guns. Each had painted on the carriage, in white letters, 15 Pr., which the captain told us meant fifteen-pounder. 'I should have thought the gun weighed more than fifteen pounds, Dora said. 'It would if it was beef, but I suppose wood and gun are lighter.
It drives its forty-five pound shell about seven miles, and shoots, I am told, with perfect accuracy. It is an enlarged edition of the beautiful little twelve-pounders which we have hitherto been using, and which exceed the range of our fifteen-pounder field-guns by about a half. Why should naval guns be so vastly superior to land ones?
