OF the fire of the Allies suggests calculation as
to the cost of the iron balls, which have been

one hundred and twenty rounds a day. which
gives total for the five hundred ofslxty thousand
rounds This fire had been continued for thirteen
days, making an aggregate of seven hundred and
eighty thousand missiles rained upon the city.
The weight of the shot fired from the guns OF
