The Great Twelves and Fourteens Lung^ 



At top: The greatest 

 game in the world is 

 played with gray steel 

 tubes of twelve and four- 

 teen-inch guns that serve 

 up thousand-pound pro- 

 jectiles. These travel at 

 one half mile a second and 

 throw up cascades of white 

 water that can be seen 

 nearly ten miles away 



in oval above: The shell 

 splashes into the water 

 just short of the target 

 and tosses a whirling col- 

 umn of white spray into 

 the air. You can easily fol- 

 low it (picture on right) as 

 It tumbles along, striking 

 the water again and again, 

 and skimming across the 

 sea in great bounds
