What happened to that. big target
moored out in. the ocean directly west
of the Golden gate last night?
For the first time in the history of
San Francisco defenses. night target
practice; with full service charges in
the big mortars was indulged in by
battery Mckinney of the coast artil-
lery corps.
The. firing started about. II o'clock
and five. shots had been scored on the
big canvas covered raft out in the
waves. Then tile mortars were trained
for the first recoEd shots and the
officers. were pairing down their caleu-
latfons to make perfect score when
the big aearchlights began to dash up
and down the coast frantically.
The target was gone. The lights
were cutting it out Of the darkness one
second, and the next second it was not
there The target could not have sunk
from the. damage the shells had in
iicted, the officers Were sure But the
searchHghts could not find it,

were still on the job, hoping to get
rid Of some heavy ammunition and
establish a. new. score before the sun
