SPIKING GUNS.--Spikes are about four !inches long,
and of the dimensions of a tobacco pipe ; dig head flat ;

a barb at the point acts as a spring, which is naturally
pressed to the shaft upon being forced into the touch-
hole. Upon reaching the chamber of the gut iit resumes
its position, and it is impossible to withdraw it. It can
only be got out by drilling—no easy task, at ,it is made
of the hardest steel, and being also somewhat loose in the
touch-hole, there is much difficulty in maki al; a drill bite
as effectually as it should do. Its application is the work
of a moment, a simple tap on the flat head w ith the palm
of the hand sufficing. This can be easily 4 one, even if
it is ever so dark.
