The military authorities had periodically set before Con- gress the defenseless situation of the coast, and had called for large appropriations, but they were regularly unheeded.
When forts and guns were asked fcr, the politicians talked of ships for coast defense, as if ships could be at ever...y point to meet a hostile fleet of a greater navy. Between the two, we got but little of either forts, armaments or ships. Nor were the ordnance officers agreed on the kind of forts or guns to meet modern conditions.
Our foremost progress in the making of cannon, was in experimenting in converting cast iron smooth-bores to rifles, by inserting a wrought iron barrel, and to breech- loaders. There is an art of adapting the firing proof of guns to the theory A part of the ordnance men main- tained that these were perfected guns, and they had the support of the newspapers.
