met in dark-lantern session again today.
The session will conclude tomorrow when
officers will be elected to serve the en-

cent about giving out information o n
corning their proceedings. In fact, if all
the pipe joints they make during the next

less kicking from their patrons. The as

his Wanderings through all corners of the
globe, but the business of Shooting he dis
covered at home, for it is daily pursued
under the eyes of thousands of oliday
folks and landsmen generally, who
neither know nor care what the long
shoremen are about in their fi~shing-boats
a few miles from land. But these busy
workers are engaged upon the business
of "shotting,' and the nature of that
peculiar occupation we will now describe.
All royal navy men training for the
rank OF seaman-gunner have to under
take a more or less lengthy term of regu-
lar practice in firing. and for these men
during their period of training some two
or three of the old-pattern gunboats are
set aside. These vessels are connected
with every dockyard, and while obsolete
for battle purposes make excellent train
ing ships. They are, of course, fitted with
approved modern weapons, and ally
during the season they carry squads of
embryo gunners to the eaward ranges
that lie outside the Spithead forts. The
bearings of these practice grounds de-
pend on the particular conjunction of
certain objects ashore, and the targets
are generally placed in shoals where a
fair range can be commanded free of
traffic.
After a busy and noisy period so much
solid metal has been blazed away into
the sea. and it is this metal that the shot
ters set forth to recover when the gun
boats ave done their task n return to
the dockyard. The ranges and the area
in which the cannon balls most probably
lie submerged are. of course, we'll known
to the searchers. Armed with experience
and a long ironshod pole they sail over
the ranges and probe the shallow bottom
carefully. Familiarity with their task
renders them Skilful, and an expert
knows in an instant When his pole
touches the hidden prOjectile beneath.
The shell found, a pair of huge tongs
is lowered into the sea and it is Sripped
and carefully lifted aboard. The price
of the metal shells is slight. and rarely
exceeds one penny halfpenny a pound,
but the brass studs on the shot possess
considerably more value. and these are
usually cut out intact. Both studs and
the main iron fabric of the recovered
shells are sold to the Royal Navy, ana
the prices offered appear sufficient to set
many men at steady work on the task OF
recovering them.
