But it is a far cry from the modern
high powered infantry rifle to the old
fashioned muskets, which also were
used to good effect by the sea soldiers
in the days of Old Tronsdes and other
sailing frigates. aar
A wide variety of small arms were
used in the early days OF the last cen
fury, including the musket, pistol,
boarding pike, cutlass, bayonet. knife
dirk or torhhawk Each weapon had its
use in the days when war vessels Of

The musket, however, was the weap-
on of the marines. II was usually of
the flnt-lock, muzzle loading, smooth
bore type and fired ball of from one
to two ounces. 1t was fairly accurate
Mt 100 yards, could inflict fatal
wound at 200 yards, and had diminish
ing degrees of effectiveness up to 4
quarter mile.
While loading musket the sea
soldier had much more to do than to
insert cartridge clip and manipulate
the bol5, as is the case with most OF
the infantry weapons today.
In those days he had to bite off the
bullet from the top of the cartridge so
as to expose the powder. He sprinkled
little of the powder into the pan Of
the gun. snapped the pan to, dropped
the cartridge down the muzzle, ramm-
ed it home with the bullet on top, and
then took aim and fired.
There were numerous occasions when

to be an important factor in the vim

was highly praised by j. Fenimore
