Gun Causing Recent Accident
at Fort Discharged.
BALL SEN, INTO ROADS
Stubborn ProiectiIe Which Caused
Death OF Eleven Soldiers Is Finally
DisIodaed After Second Attempt Is
Made-No Further Trouble Occurs.

After remaining lodged in gun No
! at Battery de Roussey since July
22, when eleven artillerymen were
killed and six others painfully hurt
by the explosion of the gun at Fort
Monroe, tne nine foot projectile was
shot into Hampton Roads early yes
ierday morning.
Once before an attempt had been
made to dislodge the proJectile but
the large charge of the sn okeless
Iowder declined to do its work and
the ordnance department in Washing
ton was informed of the failure by
the authorities at Fort Monroe. Since
that time the department has been
working on plan TO dlslodge the bu~
let and yesterday the work was &C
complished with considerable interest.
Colonel Micham, the chief ordnance
officer of the United States army.
came to Fort Monroe to witness the
shooting and the fact that the bullet
was blown out without further trou-
BILE was a source of qualification to
all the officers and enlisted men at
Fort Monroe.
Although the officials "a not care
10 discuss the removal of the projec
tile, il was learned that the gun crew
OF the Sixty-ninth company, with Ser
geant Brinkley, one OF the men injur-
ed by the accident last July, had
charge of the work. 1t required a
charge of SO pounds of nitro-cellous
powder TO shoot the bullet out and
il is said that when the fire signal
had been complied with that the
large steel nrojectile was fired out
into Chesapeake bay.
1t is also understood that the pro
jectile landed just 1890 yards out in
the water from the big gun, which
had laid eleven soldiers in death ann
sent six others to the hospital.
