mora, January 2, 1879, by whish several
officers and seamen were killed, was
made to-day in the proof butts, in the
government marshes adjoining the royal
arsenal at Woolwich. The theory was
that the disaster resalted from
the double loading OF the gun
through carelessness, and according
to this theory sister gun, which was
brought home for the purpose OF expert
ment, was to-day loaded aud fired with
double charge OF 80 and 10 pounds OF
powder, one GOO pound common shell
and one 700 pound Palliser projoctile.
The gun burst as its fellow did on
board of the Thunderer, justilying the
opinion Of the committee of investiga-
ton as to the cause of that disaster.
The muzzle OF the gun and projectilcs
were buried in the sand at the proof
butts. The remainder Of the gun, with
the exception OF its base, was blown to
