The following description of the gun is taken from “ Engineering”:—The gun is 2ft long, with a boro of and is so constructed that the lino which is co be fired from it passes through the back end of the gnn. In the experimenta the line was shot 400 yards with 2oz of powder, which would have sent it farther had the line used on the occasion been longer. The eord is coiled in the form of a cop, and put inaide of a steel canister. This canister is fired out of the gun, and leaves the line itreanung behind it. The distance to be covered is simply a question of size of gun and gnn was sent to Birmingham and tested in the most thorough manner in the proof house there. The twine used in the experiment was made of flax, and carried 2001 b dead weight with a length Of 6ft of twine. SHIPPING TELEGEAM3. Auckland. September 14.
