THE TEST OF THE GUNS OF THE NEW CRuBkk IN
TIRELY SATISFACTORY.
The ordnance officers who tested the guns Of the
cruiser Boston have reported that they accom-
panied the vessel outside OF Sandy Hook on the
10Th Of August, and witnessed q series OF hrings
on the 4th and 9Th inst. from all the guns Of the
main and secondary batteries A number OF
rounds with full charge and proJectile were fired
from each at different elevations. In each case
the action OF guns, carriages, deck-circles clips
and fastenings was entirely satisfactory. close
examination OF all fittings was made after each
round, and also at the end OF the test and no weak
or doubtful points were observed. The board does
not suggest any alterations or improvements as
necessary to be made with regard TO these par
ticulars, and expresses the opinion that the main
secondary battery also proved satisfactory.
