RIFLESHATIERS
ITS own SIGHTS
Huge Weapon at De RusSy Puts
Itself Out of Commission;
Old Gun Shoots 0. K. (

Because the terrific conclusion
shattered the delicate cross wires in
its telescope sight, one of the two IL
inch coast defense rifles at Fort De
Russy was put out of commission this
morning when annual target practise
was held. The big rifle could shoot,
but with disabled sights it was not
considered advisable to use it
After the first trial shot today OF
the new 14-inch gun installed In the
fort last year it was found its concus-
sion had shattered the vertical wire
In its telescope sights.
New wires were quickly placed in
the guns sights, but after another
shot they, also, were found shattered,
SO the gun could not be used. The
shells which we're to have been fired
by the new gun, No. ], were transfer
red to the other 14inch gun, No. 2,
and practise completed.
A "jinx" seems to be following the
new gun, because it is the same wea-
pom which blew out its breech block
during proving practise at the Sandy
Hook, N. Y, proving grounds, when 1t
was received from the factory for
testing before shipment to Honolulu.
The accident at that time resulted in
fatal injury OF several of the gun
crew. s
Mechanically the new gun worked
today in perfectly satisfactory man
ner, but by twice shattering its sights
it was put out of commission for the
day. According te officers of Fort
De Russy the accident is one which
could happen to any gun at any time,
and does not indicate any defect in
the huge weapon. De Russy has no
12-inch rifles.
Each shot fired this morning by
the big 14-inch gun represents an ex-
pense, of 1915. The shell, weighing
1860 pounds, and being of cast-iron,
costs S55 and the powder 1920 There
were three practise shots and seven
record shots fired by Battery Ran
dolph, as the 14-inch cwo-gun battery
is named. They we're fired at a range
of 10000 yards. @
Battery Dudley, the two 6-inch dis.
appearing rifles, held excellent prac.
tise, with no trouble of any kind
Only one of the two 6-inch rifles was
fired Smoke tracers were used with
the gun, each shot leaving a trail OF
blue smoke making its progress to
ward the target plainly visible to the
naked eye.

through the flooring and threatening
to envelope the walls, and with a

Because of the height of the tank

screams from the region of the tower
