killed or wounded. The powder which
forms the charges for the 12-inch
guns is made up into pyramids with
holes pierced through them. Several
Of these pyramids were scattered
around in the pit unconsumed and the
holes were filled with blood.
Many of the dead were so burned
and mangled that they had to be iden-
titled by the shreds of bloody clothing
that were left on the pieces OF bodies.
