with the siege OF Charleston. which throw

Charleston with tho "Grcck Ire shclls,
was because the shells seat werc ignitcd ON
the percussion principle, and being dis
charged from u gun elevated at ,,u angle ct
thirty eight degrees, took their Hight at the
same angle. with q longitudinal rotary mo.
ton, base downward instead OF upon the
percussion end, and did not explode. Only
two are known to have exploded which
icll into n warehouse and another which
fell in the street. This peculiar motion and
descent of the shell was new discovery in
artillery practice, then for the first timc made
and the ordnance department was not fur
nished with II remedy for the unlookcd-for
contingency. TO this fact alone Charleston
owes the delay of tho hour of its doom.

experiencing the dreadful effects of a
shower of" Greek fire " shells, fifteen hun

gun from which the shells were first fired
was q 200-pound Parrott, which can throw

at an angle of forty-live degrees. The first
shells went over Charleston, the gun being
aimed at too sharp an angle. Our reader,
