Spu1INa CAvNoN.-There is no
method Of spiking cannon which will
forever prevent its use. If the spike is
made CT iron or Of unhardencd steel, it
may be removed by the drill. If it is
loosely inserted, or without much force,
it may be blown out by firing charge
of gunpowder placed in the bottom Of
the bore. But if tho spike is made of
hardened steel, to fit the vent closely,
and is driven in with great force /; and
if its lower ED is made soft and rjvit-
ed within the bore, then neither the
drill nor guapowdcr can remove it;
the vent rcmalns permanently closed.
The remedy in such cases is to drill q
new vent, which may be done without
impiaring the serviceableness of the
gun. A new vent may be drilled in any
cannon by a skillfu, machinlstin two or
three hours.
