A very common error with most people is to assume that gunner necessarily works a gun. The duties of the gunner and those of others of his rank lie in the magazines and shell rooms. It is the gun-trainer and gun-Iayer who are responsible for the work Of the guns, says Patrick Vaux in Boys Life for November.
 When their ship goes into action the men in the shell rooms and other munition stores know it is all or noth- ing for them. They reach their posts only from the upper deck, for all the Watert1ght doors leading from com partment to compartment are closed, and overhead the heavy armored door in the deck is shut down. They can hear hardly sound as the shiL steams onward to the attack. Al ready the hydraulic or electric lifts have gently hoisted the great projec- tiles and the cartridges directly to the breech of the turret guns.
