Fortunately its shell issmall, and it is as timid as it is poisonous.
Altogether, with three Long Toms, a 5-inch howitzer, Silent Susan, abouta dozen 12-pounders, four of our screw guns, and three Maxim automatics, they had about two dozen guns on us. Against that we had two47-inch--named respectively Lady Ann and Bloody Mary--four naval12-pounders, thirty-six field-guns, the two remaining mountain guns, anold 64-pounder, and a 3-inch quickfirer--these two on Cæsar's Camp incharge of the Durban... Naval Volunteers--two old howitzers, and twoMaxim-Nordenfeldts taken at Krugersdorp in the Jameson raid, and retakenat Elandslaagte, --fifty pieces in all.
