It is • recorded fact, that such was the precision in firing by
our fleet, when reducing this straighold, that soma of the
shipe actually pitched their shot in • chunshoonce of six
feet. Nothing ever practised by the French at Mcgador,
Tangier', or other places ever sarpassed, or eta equalled,
this precision in firing. So much for their supe-
riority in gunnery, in actual warfare. In experi-
mental trials also, we doubt if they can adduce
any case of greater accuracy in firing than that which took
place on board her M.S. Excellent some time ago, when
