NOVEL MODE OF ExTINGuIsHING FIRE
pIscHaRGING SHELLS INTO BURNING BUILDINGS.
-Early in January the barracks at Fort Mackinac
were destroyed by fire. During the progress OF
the flames the officer 10 command thought 1t would
be good idea, as water was not very easily to be
obtained, to FIRE cannon shot into the buildings In
such a way to cut OF the communication OF the
fire with the parts not yet kindled. Accordingly,
the ield-pieces were ranged on the parade, loaded
with shot and the canuonade was then commenced.
The shot all told and perhaps would have fulfilled
the expectation of the Ingenious officer, had not
slight error in the practice been discovered too late
To the great astonishuent of all beheders the shot
exploded In the buildings, throwing the burning
fragments in every direction and spreading disas-
ter beyond hope OF remedy. The guns had been
loaded with shells instead OF solid shot The result
was the most unfortunate, for the wooden build.
