the greatest difficulty in keeping the crowd within the
proper limits. The only accident of a serious kind which
occurred throughout the day arose from a body of ma-
rines having in the hurry of the attack placed themselves

the mine at the moment, but experienced no personal
At the close of the operations the troops returned to
their barracks, their bands playing " God save the
Queen." The spectators returned to their homes,
profoundly impressed with the idea that they now
knew what siege operations really are, and that no
pyrotechnic exaggeration can represent them half so
formidable as they really are.
