was much surprised TO find that the
guns OF MORO and the water battery
below IL had the exact range OF tho
Yosemite's position and were effective
at that distance. Many pro-
jectiles OF large calibre passed over
the Yosemite and although the
enemy made excellent line shots. some

struck once. - Our FIRE seemed TO
be very effective and made the Span

in every way highly commendable."
