gun carriage

In about 12 minutes the gun carriage and bearer party and escort party, led by a band of the Royal Marines, will lead off.

The gun-carriage was then complete, and could be rolled anywhere on deck with ease.

"We need a regular four-wheeled gun-carriage for that," said Raed.

Various improvements in the gun-carriage enable the gunner to secure almost perfect aim.

By this time Captain Carboneer had finished taking the measure of the gun-carriage, though he had not been able to see anything.

"No; but you wish to take a couple of friends on board to obtain the measure of a gun-carriage," continued Captain Carboneer.
