OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN
Armament Of Old Craft Was Made to
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and In order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder. but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess.
full The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard OF them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made TO break them open with dyna.

The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament OF
