With Failure

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S-Efforts of
several weeks to dislodge the pro-
Jectile that remained in a IL inch
gun after the fatal premature explo-
sion at Fort Monroe July 81 have re-
suited in failure, and it now looks as
though the removal of the stubborn
projectile will prove difficult prob

backward among the men who were
firing the gun on the fatal July day
the projectfle was hurled IL feet 9
inches from the mushroom head of
the breech block. There 1t has stuck
ever since, as tightly as If 1t were an
integral part of the powerful gun.
A new breech block has been fitted
to the gun and attempts made to dis
charge the projectile by small powder
charges. These have been ineffective.
Deplorable as it was, the accident

lesson learned in the case of the North
Dakota is that the settling tank, con-
tanning 400 gallons Of oil, should be
at once removed from the fireroom to
some convenient place where any
small leakage would not be exposed
to heat sufficient to set the oil afire.

channel and in less than three minutes
had made the great pool At Great

swung around stern first and turned
over, Larsen coming up badly battered.
After going through the Devils hole
the Ferro swung toward the rocks on
the American side of the river, rolled
over one boulder and went fast between
two others. There Larsen stayed for
five minutes, 40 feet from shore.
Getting free, he was hit by comber
