INSCRTPTION ON A GUN. 95 



at some time bm^st and been repaired. I am 

 afraid to mention liow many miles this gun, ac- 

 cording to the Killahdar's solemn assurance, will 

 propel a ball, but from its appearance few artil- 

 lery men would. I think, be found courageous 

 enough to make the ex^^eriment ; the gun bears 

 the following inscription : — 



Klin's J V-JElnAAA

On a long brass 12-pounder within the third 

 gate is this inscription in Persian: ^'Surkar
