SANDY HOOK GUNS ROAR
Thousands Quit Beds to Watcn
Might Target Practice.
SHOOT AT WOODEN FLOAT
Firing of Big Mortars creates
Weird Scene as Shells
Hurtle to Sea.

Persons living along the Jersey coast
north and south OF Sandy Hook found
II difficult to compose themselves ior
sleep last night. Uncle sam was tahiii7
a little practice In Workmanship al MS
Sandy Hook shooting gallery ana 'ne
night air was made hideous every re"
minutes by the roar and screech or huge
shells from the retrousse noses OF the
mortars inside the Notifications.
II WAS the first night practice In the
firing of big guns ever held in the East
and while many hundreds attempted 10
sleep. several thousands turned out anu
made a holiday Of IL. They lined the
nearby beaches, built bonfres and mace
bets on the spot on which the great NOR
tar shells would land.
The 18th Coast Artillery, In charge OF
Captain William c. Colvin. was the or
eanization on duty last night, and COL
onel s. a. Allen, commander of the coast
defences for Southern New York, was IN
supreme command of the operations.
The proceedings were started by the
tueboat Harvey Brown, which towed the
target, a wooden float about twelve fee'
square. out about 1900 yards to sea. In
order TO score a hit the mortar sheHs
had TO strike within a tifty-yard radius
of the target, which was moving all the
time. being towed up and down the coast
line
The huge searchights aided the men
behind the guns by playing their beams
Oh the target, but at best the float was
a ghostlv bulls eye to shoot at. Ten
shots were fired, every one OF which
scored as to deflectlon-that is. the gun
ners were getting their line OF direction
almost perfectly.
Just what the actual results were could
not be learned last night The oihclals IN
charge Of the practice had TO walt until
the Harvey Brown and the float arrived
before II could be made known just how
straight ard accurate was the aim OF the
sighters
The discharge OF each mortar made a
weird scene. After the deafening roar
as the powder was touched Off. there
would follow terrific screeching and
moaning as the 1,Oi6-pound projectie
hurtled through space. The moaning
would ascend to a crescendo as the shell
reached its greatest height, a distance OF
two miles. and then gradually die down
