With several companions he had gone gunning along the canal, and, in pushing off a boat in which he had placed his gun half-cocked, caused the gun to go off, the whole load entering his body.

In the tank itself there have been some important changes. In place of the old twelve-foot oars with a hole cut in the blade, a new set has been made with the blades shaved down to the same width as the shaft-three inches-which makes the strain less than with the old seven inch blades. The leverage has also been increased. With the old oar there...
