A Brave Answer

There was sharp fighting between
the English and French in the Wind
ward islands in 177S, when General
Meadows conquered ST. Lucia, not, how
ever, without himself being severely
wounded at the very beginning Of the
engagement.
The general, though wounded, would
not leave the field for a moment. and
when the action was over, he visited
every wounded officer and man before
he would receive the surgeons atten-
tion himself.
His heart was greatly cheered by an
answer given to him by a young sab
altern, Lieutenant Comm of the Forty
sixth regiment. who, in the heat Of
action. was wounded in the eye.
II hope you have not lost your eye,
lieutenant" said the general.
Il believe have, sir,' replied Comm.
but with the other I shall see you
victorious this day."
The brave young fellow had his wish,
and history tells US that the French
general was driven back with shame
and with loss.'

Army and
Navy News

For hours yesterday afternoon the
Matson wharf was the scene of bust
ling activity, as the munitions of war
which the big ship Lurline brought
from the mainland were unloaded and
assembled for the trip out to the beach,.
There was none of the pomp and eere-
mony of war in evidence, but the great
drab carriages of a dozen siege guns,
together with battery wagons, limbers
and caissons, spoke of the somber and
dreadful side of warfare.
The great carriages, each capable of
resisting the recoiI of a finch siege
gun, fired with full service charge. had
business-like look that caused an
involuntary shudder to pass up and
down the spine of the layman. The
dainty little briggs Seaburys, toy

derers, but equally deadly in their par

ticular field of work, served to aecen-
tuate the dimensions of the big gun
carriages.
Two full batteries of siege artillery,
the heaviest ordnance mounted on
wheels, is represented by the line of
carriages that We're parked on the
waterfront yesterday afternoon.
These guns are to be used in the
works that Uncle Sam is constructing
here. Though they possess ali the eff
tectlveness of guns of the same caliber
mounted on stationary carriages for sea
coast defense alone, they are almost as
mobile as light artillery, and in case of
necessity would be available either for
the armament of temporary earthworks
or TO batter down works which an
enemy had managed to construct in
an unguarded moment
Owing to the enormous weight of the
guns themselves, they were not mount
ed for transit, it being considered wise
to transport them on trucks. Each
gun weighs something over ton, and
the task of mounting one on its car
rage is no child's play.
But the little briggs Seabury rapid
fire guns, weapons that send a rain of
small projectiles while the big thun-
derers are getting ready for single
salvo, were sent ashore without dis
mounting The barrels were covered

with sacking, but their odd, rectangu-
lar shape was readily noticeable. These
guns are equipped with bullet shields,
and are fine type of the modern field
gun. Those which arrived on the Lur-
line are of the model of 1902, and were
manufactured by the Ordnance. Corps
in 1906.
The least impressive, but at the same
time the deadliest of the cargo which
the Lurline brought, were the big guns
themselves Twelve of them, lying neg
lected on the wharf alongside pile
of miscellaneous cargo, looked more
like sewer pipe than anything else
Alongside the pile of dismounted guns,
each one capable of destroying city,
were stacked crates of children ex
press wagons, and the contrast between
the playthings of the home and the
brown giants of the battlefield was
grimly humorous.
