Dismounting the Gun, and Carriage, Words of command.--" Place skids, unlash, and scotch the wheels. TJnlash the breech, Levers take purchase to lower. Bear down, ease off, unsling, as before." " Prepare to unlimber. Unlimber. Dismount carriage. Turn the carriage over. Limber up." Slinging Howitzers. A Howitzer is slung in the same manner aa a gun. The manner of mounting a howitzer carriage differs in one respect from that of mounting a gun carriage; the width of the axletree arms of a 10 inch carriage being nearly equal to the distance between the wheels of the sling waggon, it is necessary that the trucks be put on one at a time, the carriage being pinched as far as possible to the opposite side, in order to make room for the operation. In consequence of the cheeks not having steps, the carriage, after having been mounted, requires to be lashed. Slinging Mortars. A 13 inch mortar, and its bed, require each a waggon for itself; but a 10, or an 8 inch mortar can be conveyed on its bed, by one waggon. A 13 inch mortar, lying on skids, is slewed like a gun, the sling being passed round close to both trunnions, and a piece of short skid" ding put into the muzzle, by which to lash it to the perch. The muzzle is raised and secured in the same manner as the breech of a gun. To place a 13 inch Mortar on its Bed by a Sling Waggon. The sling waggon to which the mortar is attached is brought over the bed. A handspike is laid on the ground on each side of the bed, opposite the front of the fore transom; and, when the mortar is far enough back, a handspike is also placed under each trunnion, clear of the sling. The muzzle is then unlashed, the...

Example in this ebook CHAPTER I. [1841-1842.] At this time the Governor-General and his family were resident at Calcutta. The period of Lord Auckland’s tenure of the vice-regal office was drawing to a close. He was awaiting the arrival of his successor. It had seemed to him, as the heavy periodical rains began slowly to give place to the cool weather of the early winter, that there was nothing to overshadow the closing scenes of his administration, and to vex his spirit with misgivings and regrets during the monotonous months of the homeward voyage. The three first weeks of October brought him only cheering intelligence from the countries beyond the Indus. The Envoy continued to report, with confidence, the increasing tranquillity of Afghanistan. The Douranee insurrection seemed to have been suppressed, and there was nothing stirring in the neighbourhood of Caubul to create anxiety and alarm. But November set in gloomy and threatening. The clouds were gathering in the distance. It now seemed to Lord Auckland that his administration was doomed to close in storm and convulsion. Intelligence of the Ghilzye outbreak arrived. It was plain that the passes were sealed, for there were no tidings from Caubul. There might be rebellion and disaster at the capital; our communications were in the hands of the enemy; and all that was known at Calcutta was that Sale’s brigade had been fighting its way downwards, and had lost many men and some officers in skirmishes with the Ghilzye tribes, which had seemingly been productive of no important results. There was something in all this very perplexing and embarrassing. Painful doubts and apprehensions began to disturb the mind of the Governor-General. It seemed to be the beginning of the end. Never was authentic intelligence from Caubul looked for with so much eager anxiety as throughout the month of November. When tidings came at last—only too faithful in their details of disaster—they came in a dubious, unauthoritative shape, and, for a time, were received with incredulity. At the end of the third week of November, letters from Meerut, Kurnaul, and other stations in the upper provinces of Hindostan, announced that reports had crossed the frontier to the effect that there had been a general rising at Caubul, that the city had been fired, and that Sir Alexander Burnes had been killed. Letters to this effect reached the offices of the public journals, but no intelligence had been received at Government House, and a hope was expressed in official quarters that the stories in circulation were exaggerated native rumours. But, a day or two afterwards, the same stories were repeated in letters from Mr. George Clerk, the Governor-General’s agent on the north-western frontier, and from Captain Mackeson at Peshawur; and the intelligence came coupled with urgent requisitions for the despatch of reinforcements to Afghanistan.
