CROWDS IHRONG
BEACH TO SEE
NIGHT Firing

Excellent shooting was done by both
the 14inch and six-inch batteries at
Fort De Russy last night, in the night
service practise Of the 10th Company,
Capt. Stayton, manning the big rife,
and the 55th Company, Lieut.. Pepin,
serving the smaller guns.
A large crowd of interested watch
ers lined the beach in the vicinity OF
the fort, and occupied other points OF
vantage, while quite delegation OF
service people were on the parapet it.
self during the firing.
Both the 14-inch and six-inch pro-
jectiles were fitted with tracers, which
left a fiery track from gun to target.
The terrific blast of the l4-inch rife
shook the houses and ratified the win
dows in the neighborhood, but so far
as could be learned no damage to
property was done The tracers on
the big projectiles did not function
properly, only one or two lasting for
the full flight of the shot, but in the
six-inch practise almost every shot
could be plainly marked for its full
co.rse.
There was long delay in the II
inch practise after the fourth shot, oW-
ing to trouble with the magnetic which
fires the gun. The last three shots
were fired fully half an hour after the
first four. The range was from 5000
to 5000 yards, and unofficial figures
give four hits out of seven shots,
which is a fine record. Had the day
practise been anywhere near as ac-
curate, Battery Randolph would still
be in the running for the Knox trophy.
The six-inch battery made the fine
score Of 10 hits out of 16 shots, at
ranges from 1000 yards up. The day
practise was not up to the mark, how
ever, owing to the fact that an incor-
rect range scale had been made for
the long pointed projectiles, used for
the first time in this years practise.
In last nights firing with the sixinch
guns, there was q hitch after the first
string. when the gun crew prepared
TO fire one too many shots, and had to
remove the projectile. This took some
time, and it was after II o'clock be-
fore the final string was fred.
This evening there will be night
practise for the Pinch and six-inch
battery ct Fort Kamehameha.
Unofficial figures show that the
e8th Company, Capt. Taylor, has done
about the most consistent shooting of
the Oahu coast defenses this year.
Four hits out of II shots were plotted
for these mortars In day practise, and
the same number at night Last year,
with four hits in day practise and only
two at night, the battery finished
fourth OF al the mortar batteries in
the United States service These fig-
ures give Oahu still a chance for a
third win OF the. Knox trophy.
