116 AWAITING REINFORCEMENTS 117 Commander Limpus again prosecuted his scientific re- searches, the result of his labour being the completion of a telescopic survey of the surrounding country — a work of inestimable value.

At a range of 7660 yards. Lieutenant Hunt and C. P. O. Stephens undertook the work of demolition.
